Question 3
Upon hearing Lazarus was ill, Jesus says: “This illness is not unto death; it is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified by means of it.”
So far, we have witnessed many miracles:
Water to Wine at Cana (Jn 2:1-11)
Healing of the Ruler’s Son (Jn 4:46-54)
Healing of the Man at Bethsaida (Jn 5:1-9)
Multiplication of the Loaves (Jn 6:1-15)
Healing of the Man Born Blind (Jn 9:1-14)
Now, Jesus commands the dead man, Lazarus, to life. Shocking the crowd who witnessed these events. Nothing about these events suggests this narrative we have that Jesus was a “Nice Guy” or that his teachings were about “being nice”
Why do you think Jesus was born of the Virgin and dwelt among us?
What does this mean to you?
