John 11:40 Jesus said to her, "Did I not say to you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?"
Do we believe that all things occur so God may glorify Himself through His Son, Jesus? Jesus had told Mary that she would see the glory of God if she believed. We have been told in God’s word that for all of those who are His, He is at work for good and for His glory in this fallen world (Romans 8:20-21 “For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God). He loves us, and nothing can separate us from His love. He is for us! Who is against us? Neither death nor life. Tribulation, distress, persecution, nor anything to come can prevent God from glorifying Himself through Jesus in our lives. Let’s not settle for anything less than seeing God glorify Himself in our lives. Let the Lord be magnified!

Live to Love Scripture Encouragement John 11.33-35
John 11:33-35 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping, He was deeply moved in spirit and was troubled, and said, "Where have you laid him?" They said to Him, "Lord, come and see." Jesus wept.
“Weep with those who weep” (Rom. 12:15). We see a loving expression of empathy in Jesus. Although He knew Lazarus was only “sleeping” and that God was going to raise him for His glory, He still wept. John seems to imply that Jesus’ tears were motivated by a movement of God deep within His spirit which was troubling. What do you think was troubling? Was it that he saw familiar faces—Jews who caused trouble the last time He was in Jerusalem? I wonder if He always felt that way when He saw death—it was always troubling to see the affects of sin on His creation, wasn’t it? It’s what He came to conquer. For whatever the reason, Jesus was ready to look death in the face in the power of the Holy Spirit with His Father. But still He wept. Filled with the hope of glory, Jesus wept. Isn’t God’s love amazing? Lord, I worship You.
