God of the Gap // Part 3
Love:Death:Glory
John 11:1-6
1 Now a certain man was ill, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. 2 It was Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill. 3 So the sisters sent to him, saying, “Lord, he whom you love is ill.” 4 But when Jesus heard it he said, “This illness does not lead to death. It is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.” 5 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. 6 So, when he heard that Lazarus was ill, he stayed two days longer in the place where he was.
God is working in your waiting......
- Many times we are blind to what God is doing in the midst of our suffering, but He is always working for our good and His glory.
- God's love often allows pain and loss in the lives of those He loves.
- God's love means doing what He must to help us see and savor the glory of God forever.
- God's love works and suffers to enamor us with what is infinitely and eternally satisfying, which is the glory of God.
