President Barnes preaches on John 11:1-16

March 2, 2017 | Miller Chapel "...after hearing that Lazarus was ill, he stayed two days longer in the place where he was." The RSV states that “because” Jesus loved them he stayed away when he heard that Lazarus was dying. Some translate the text by saying, “Jesus loved them; therefore, he stayed away...” Jesus doesn’t come just in the nick of time, but long afterwards. That’s because he wants us to love him and not what he can do for us. When we surrender to that love we discover that he does far more than we imagined.
