Episode notes
John's Personal Connection To The Story
- John likely knew Lazarus, Mary, and Martha personally since he was in Jesus' inner circle.
- That personal connection may explain why John alone records this dramatic resurrection story.
Delay As Divine Purpose
- Jesus deliberately delays going to Lazarus, which confuses the disciples and intensifies the family's pain.
- That delay is a deliberate part of God's plan to glorify him through a greater miracle.
Martha's Practical Faith Vs Mary's Grief
- Martha runs out to meet Jesus and expresses practical faith rooted in his goodness, not specific requests.
- Mary stays inside mourning and later sits at Jesus' feet, reflecting her more emotional response.
