Bible Note: I believe that the Bible should be interpreted at face value and that we should try to understand what the author is trying to convey. We also must realize that there are figures of speech throughout God's Word and that we aren't to allegorize everything that is said. If you want my honest opinion about what Christ did by taking so long before going to resuscitate Lazarus, I think Jesus made it perfectly clear why he took so long. John 11:15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him. John 11:39-40 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days. 40Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? John 11:42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. John 11:45 Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him. There wasn't a doubt in anyone's mind that Lazarus was dead he was even to the point of decomposition yet Jesus brought him back! John 20:30-31 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: 31But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name. |
