Hope can be a powerful thing. In John 11, Jesus receives news that his friend, Lazarus is sick, and yet seems to delay, so long, in fact, that Lazarus dies. Did Jesus go out of his way to deliberately destroy the hope they had, or could it be that his purpose was to allow them to understand hope in a much deeper way?
When all hope seems lost, where do we turn to? Here Jesus shows us the fundamental difference between placing our faith in what Jesus can do, and putting faith in who He is.
