Tuesday, June 2, 2020 Look Past the Present "So although Jesus loved Martha, Mary, and Lazarus, he stayed where he was for the next two days" (John 11:5–6 nlt). Mary, Martha, and Lazarus were personal friends of Jesus Christ, and He liked to spend time at their home in Bethany. If they had cell phones in those days, they would have had His number. (And they probably would have had a text thread going.) So when Lazarus became ill, they sent word to Jesus: "Lord, your dear friend is very sick" (John 11:3 nlt). They didn't tell Him what to do. They figured He would take care of it. I think they assumed Jesus would heal him. Mary and Martha probably looked up the road and said to their friends, "Hey, Jesus should be here any second. He'll come right down that road. He always has those 12 guys with Him, and they kick up a lot of dust. You'll see." But then the story takes an interesting twist: "So although Jesus loved Martha, Mary, and Lazarus, he stayed where he was for the next two days" (John 11:5–6 nlt).
