Jesus told His disciples that Lazarus's sickness would not end in death, but that it was for God's glory and that He too maybe glorified in it. Usually when someone is sick we go out of our way to help them. We don't wait, we spend time with them. In those days 3 days in the grave meant you were really dead. Lazarus had been in the grave 4 days and all hope was lost. Have you ever been in a situation where you felt God waited too long? God's timing is not our timing...
