![]() This was a Sharing Day for the members to go and share their stories of growth and learning from the study. This same morning I read this story to Levi, I was going to go to the last BSF study of the year. He chose to stay in order to bring people to Him and bring the most glory to Himself. Jesus could have gone immediately to Lazarus and healed him if He wanted, but He chose to stay away. One of the things that really stuck out to me was what Jesus said in verse 4. As I read this story, I remembered reading this story in my BSF study. This past year I did a Bible study through BSF International and our study was the book of John all year long. 6 So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days, 7 and then he said to his disciples, “Let us go back to Judea.” No, it is for God’s glory so that God’s Son may be glorified through it.” 5 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. 2 (This Mary, whose brother Lazarus now lay sick, was the same one who poured perfume on the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair.) 3 So the sisters sent word to Jesus, “Lord, the one you love is sick.”Ĥ When he heard this, Jesus said, “This sickness will not end in death. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. John 11: 1-7: Now a man named Lazarus was sick. But what a lot of people don’t remember or might forget is that Jesus was sent a message a few days before Lazarus’ death that he was ill and Jesus decided to stay two days where He was and not go to Lazarus immediately. This is the verse in the Bible where “Jesus wept” when he heard of Lazarus’ death. Lazarus and his sisters, Martha and Mary, were good friends with Jesus and Jesus was deeply saddened by Lazarus’ death. ![]() If you know (or don’t know) the story of Lazarus, he died and Jesus raised him from the dead. ![]() We don’t always get far into the New Testament with the stories we read, but this particular day we started reading the story of Lazarus. We do this every morning and he has his favorite stories that we tend to read on a regular basis: David and Goliath, Joshua and the Wall (Battle of Jericho), and Baby Jesus. Last week, I was reading with Levi from his children’s Bible.
