With Us in Pain


Listen Later

Jesus told His followers, "In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” God allows us to go through pain, yet He is always with us in that pain. Minister Aaron Hill continues in John 11 as He finishes the account of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead. Jesus arrives after Lazarus has been in the tomb four days. Mary and Martha are both sure that their brother would not have died if Jesus had been there. Jesus, however, doesn't reprimand them. He doesn't invalidate their pain. He mourns with them.
