When Jesus Seems Late | May 24, 2026

What do you do when Jesus feels late? In John 11, Martha and Mary are grieving the loss of their brother Lazarus, confused why Jesus did not arrive sooner. As Jesus steps into their pain, He reveals that He is not distant from suffering, but deeply moved by it. Through this powerful story, we see both the compassion of Christ and His declaration that He is “the resurrection and the life.”This message explores grief, disappointment, trust, and the difficult questions we wrestle with when God’s timing does not make sense. Ultimately, we are reminded that even when Jesus feels late, He is still loving, still present, and still working in ways we cannot yet fully see.
