In this chapter, Jesus resurrects Lazarus, his beloved friend. Jesus waited four days to see him, knowing that this delay would glorify Him. Jesus wanted this delay so that many Jews would believe in him, but we also noticed that others decided to go and tell the Pharisees about the miracle he had performed. Jesus wants us to trust that he is the Way, the Truth, the Life, and the Resurrection, for we will not experience death if we trust him.
Today, if you are confined to a bed due to a terrible health condition, I ask that you give your complete trust to Jesus. He wants to light up your soul and give life to your spirit. He wants you to trust him with all your being. Yes, it is sad when we experience a sudden illness or situation we did not see coming, but that's when we need to say, "All to Jesus, I surrender." "Let your will be done." He may bring healing to your body, ignite your soul and spirit, or resurrect you in his kingdom, but know He is there with you. Your family left behind will be sad, but if you go with Jesus, they will stay comforted, for they know you're in Jesus' arms and will see each other again, reassured and comforted in his presence.
Today's lesson is simple: Trust in Jesus, the resurrection, and the life, especially when you're sick. He can resurrect or restore your body and guide you toward a better life, spiritually or on earth. So, trust Him in your sickness or in the hard times, for he longs to walk alongside you as you navigate these challenging situations by supporting and guiding you every step of the way. Trust.
