John 11:15

am glad for your sakes that. was not there.

Had he been at the home of Lazarus before his death he would have felt constrained to heal him. Such. miracle would have been less striking and less proof of his divine power than the one which would now take place. For the sake of his disciples, for the sake of their increase in faith, for. demonstration of his mastery of the realms of death, he was glad of the opportunity to do what he proposed to do, to the end that they might believe. To bring back from the shades of death. man four days buried, after decomposition began, was as mighty. manifestation of divine power as to create. world.
