This entire passage is full of emotions: from Jesus, Mary, Martha, and even the crowd. How do we handle emotions before God?

Jesus' response to the news of Lazarus' illness was to wait two days before coming... what? Why would he do that? How do we handle times of worry?

John the Baptist wasn't flashy and yet he still led people to Jesus. How do we do it?
