for everyone. >> he helped others, why couldn't he help lazarus is the question asked about him. right? and so i think jesus has mixed emotions about this. he's not going to respond to the will of a human being. he's going to wait from the word from on high before he does something. >> maybe a sign in john's gospel that jesus has control over the situation. if he wants to wait, he will wait. he's god. >> martha! >> as lazarus dies, mary and martha must have experienced that deep grief of death, but also the grief of, it could have been different. knowing that there is one in their lives who could have healed him. and not allowed him to die.
