Hey, this is Beth.

Listen, what we live for at Living Proof is to serve people, the Word of God.

We base our ministry on Hebrews 412 that tells us that the Word is alive and active.

We pray this message is going to serve you in some way today and that God

is going to speak through it. Thank you so much for giving us this privilege. One of my very

favorite things to do in Bible study is just work our way through a chapter of scripture.

And that's exactly what I want to do this morning, just narrating it all the way through

is we look

in the verses of John chapter 11.

Now, a man named Lazarus was sick.

He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.

This Mary, whose brother Lazarus now lay sick, was the same one who poured perfume on the Lord

and wiped his feet with her hair.

That's where we're going in our next segment of time together.

But he's simply telling us because he's looking at the whole thing from retrospect.

It had not happened when this particular event was taking place.

But since he is riding it from retrospect of looking back over it, he's saying, this is one

and the same. So don't let that be a confusion to you. It says then in verse three, so the

sister sent word to Jesus, Lord, the one you love is sick. And when he heard this, Jesus said,

this sickness will not end in death. No. It is for God's glory so that God's son may be glorified through it.

Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. Yet when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed

where he was two more days. He loved them yet. That's what you and I are discussing this morning.
