Passage: John 11:1–27

Where is God when life feels like a pressure cooker? When the world is filled with chaos, anger, confusion, and pain—it’s natural to ask, “Lord, where are You?” In John 11, we find that even those closest to Jesus wrestled with His timing. Mary and Martha called for Jesus, but He delayed. Lazarus died. Yet in the waiting, God was working.

This story shows us that God’s delays are not denials. His love isn’t always measured by immediate action, but by the deeper deliverance He is bringing for His glory and our good. Jesus reveals Himself not just as a miracle worker, but as the Resurrection and the Life—the One who offers unshakable hope in the face of death itself.

In this message we’ll see:

-Why God’s delay precedes His deliverance.

-How His love can’t be judged by present circumstances.

-Why saving faith endures when Jesus seems “late.”

-How to trust God in the mystery of unanswered prayers.

-The hope of resurrection life—both now and forever.

Ultimately, our role is obedience; the outcome belongs to Him. And just as Lazarus was raised, everything Jesus did for him, He will one day do for all who believe.
