Title: Lessons from the Raising of Lazarus: Understanding Jesus' Timing and Love
Summary: In this lesson, Chaplain Lou discusses the story of Lazarus' illness and death as found in John 11, emphasizing how Jesus' delay in responding to Mary and Martha's plea illustrates His love for them and His greater purpose, which often unfolds in ways we do not understand. He highlights the necessity of faith, reminding us that while we may not see immediate answers to our prayers, Jesus is in control of time and uses our circumstances to reveal His glory and plan.
