Love, Timing, and God's Glory in John 11

The preacher examines Jesus's decision to delay his journey to Bethany after learning of Lazarus's death, using geographical analysis to establish that Jesus could have arrived in time to prevent the death. The main argument is that love is not defined by ensuring personal comfort but by prioritizing holiness, spiritual growth, and God's glory. Supporting points include the contrast between Jesus's earlier healing of the official's son from 19 miles away (John 4) and his similar distance from Lazarus, and the differing responses of Martha and Mary to Jesus's arrival.
