Matthew 4:1–1; To The Glory of God

Walking in the Light

1Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha. It was that Mary who had anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick. The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, “Lord, behold, he for whom you have great affection is sick.”


But when Jesus heard it, he said, “This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that God’s Son may be glorified by it.” Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days in the place where he was. Then after this he said to the disciples, “Let’s go into Judea again.”
The disciples asked him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just trying to stone you. Are you going there again?”


Jesus answered, “Aren’t there twelve hours of daylight? If a man walks in the day, he doesn’t stumble, because he sees the light of this world. 10 But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light isn’t in him.” 11 He said these things, and after that, he said to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may awake him out of sleep.” Matthew 4:1–11

John 11:35 Jesus Wept

praying Jesus

“Jesus wept”. John 11:35 ESV

John 11:35, is the shortest verse in the Bible, simply put it says, “Jesus wept.” Even though it’s brief these two words carry profound depth and reveal the heart of Christ in a powerful way. This moment occurs at the tomb of Lazarus, where Jesus is surrounded by grieving friends and family. Even though He knew He would raise Lazarus from the dead, He still entered fully into the sorrow of those around Him. His tears show us that He is not a distant or unemotional Savior but one who feels the weight of human pain and loss. In weeping, Jesus identified with our grief, demonstrating His compassion and love for people. His tears also remind us that sorrow, brokenness, pain, and death were never part of God’s original design, but entered the world because of sin. Jesus’ weeping reveals His holy anger at the reality of death and His deep empathy for those who suffer under its shadow. We should be comforted to know that Christ does not stand far off when we hurt—He draws near, feels with us, and cares deeply. John 11:35 teaches us that divine power and tender compassion coexist perfectly in Jesus, making Him both our mighty Savior and our loving Friend.

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Hebrews 4:15

He Knows You

Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O Lord, you know it altogether. Psalm 139:4 ESV

We try to get around things think it’ll be alright, we know our thoughts. The thoughts that we don’t share, the thoughts that come out of nowhere. We are told so does He, we can not hide these from God but we can ask Him to help shield us from the things in this world that cause these thoughts.
