Oh, we have to come to the point where we trust God more.

That when He's making us wait longer than we think we should,

that we say, God, I know you've got a plan.

I want to talk to you this morning about the raising of Lazarus from the dead.

Amen. John 11, 1 through 6.

Now a man named Lazarus was sick.

And he was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.

And this Mary, who's brother Lazarus, now lays sick,

this was the same Mary who poured perfume on Jesus' feet

and wiped him with her hair, which that's another whole story in itself.

I mean, that was just shocking.

Do you know back then women never knew about her?

That's the reason why I'm here.

I mean, that was just shocking.

Do you know back then women never let their hair down in public?

And when she walked into that room and let her hair down to wipe Jesus' feet,

that's what the religious people do when you get a little excited about Jesus.

My goodness, we dare not get excited about Jesus.

We can act crazy at a football game, but don't get excited about Jesus.

So the sisters, the two sisters sent word to Jesus.

Lord, the one you love is sick.
