Jesus loves Mary, Martha, and Lazarus but when He finds out Lazarus is sick and near death He stays where He is for two more days. What kind of love is that? Have there been moments in your life that could only be explained by God? When you hear about something miraculous, do you doubt that God actually did it? Each miracle of Jesus seems to suggest that Jesus was very interested in an increase of faith. Why do you think Jesus is so interested in our faith growing? Do you think your faith has grown over the past year? If so, how? If not, why not? Are there some beliefs that you have about God that you don't know if they're right or wrong? Do you mind sharing them? Do you feel like if you do good God owes you good stuff? Are you scared when you do bad that God is going to punish you? John 11:6 says in essence that Jesus can love you and allow you to go through very difficult things in life. Have you ever experienced something like that? Are you going through something difficult now?
