Did you know that
Jesus was 4 days
late?
Late in the eyes of men
Now a certain man was sick: Lazarus
of Bethany, the village of Mary and
her sister Martha. -John 11:1 (NASB)

But when Jesus heard this, He said,

“This sickness is not [b]meant for
death, but is for the glory of God, so
that the Son of God may be glorified
So when He heard that he was sick,
He then stayed two days longer in the
place where He was.-John 11:6 (NASB)

This He said, and after this He *said

to them, “Our friend Lazarus has
fallen asleep; but I am going so that I
may awaken him from sleep.”.” -John
 So when Jesus came, He found that
he had already been in the tomb four
days.
-John 11:17 (NASB)
And when He had said these things,
He cried out with a loud voice,
“Lazarus, come out!” Out came the
man who had died, bound hand and
foot with wrappings, and his face was
wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus
*said to them, “Unbind him, and let
him go.”

 “For My thoughts are not your
thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,”
declares the Lord. For as the heavens
are higher than the earth, So are My
ways higher than your ways
And My thoughts than your thoughts.
Have you also noticed that there are
no accounts in the Bible of Jesus
running?
He was always seen walking.
He was not rushing.
Yet He was always on time.
