When Jesus Takes Too Long (John 11:1-16)

from Rebuilding Faith · host Jeremy Jernigan

What do you do when Jesus doesn’t make sense? In this week’s episode of Rebuilding Faith, we open John 11 and discover that Mary and Martha weren’t the only ones frustrated by Jesus’ timing. He says Lazarus won’t die… then announces Lazarus is dead. He even waits two extra days before doing anything. But buried in this story is a detail most of us miss, and it's one that changes everything about what we assume God is doing. If you’ve ever wondered why Jesus takes so long to show up, or why your prayers feel unanswered, this episode might be uncomfortably relevant.
