Last week we studied how God wasn’t surprised by the actions of man or nature, but He is aware of everything. The event which is the foundation of today’s sermon is no exception. We’ll see that one of Jesus’ friends Lazarus becomes sick and dies and Jesus will use this sad, tragic event to help Lazarus’ family grow in faith. It will also pose an important question each of us as Christians need to answer regarding our willingness to be used of God.
