It is hard to describe the agony of grief that we encounter when someone we love dies. We find Martha and Mary in the throes of this kind of pain in the second paragraph of John 11. Mary and Martha do not understand what God is doing. All they know is that they had called out to Jesus. They told Him that Lazarus was sick. Why didn’t He drop everything and come? Why didn’t He heal Lazarus from afar? Why didn’t He do something? Why did He just let Lazarus die? Did He not love them anymore? Didn’t He care what was happening to them? All these questions and a million more cascaded over them. They don’t recognize Jesus waited because He did love them. “Now, Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. Therefore, when He heard that he was sick, He stayed two more days in the place where He was.” (John 11:5–6).
