"Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. So, when He heard that he was sick, He stayed 2 more days..."
I don't know, but it just struck me, Jesus loved Martha, Mary, and Lazarus. But, He didn't jump. He stayed. Sometimes, love can do that. Sometimes, the best thing to do is be patient. Jesus knew that the glory of God was at hand. Jesus knew that God could be "glorified through it" (John 11:4).
It may be uncomfortable waiting. We expect people, especially those who love us, to jump when we have a need. But, perhaps the most loving thing one can do is to wait for the glory of God.
