Dead Man Walking (John 11) - A daily Bible study from www.HeartofAShepherd.com.

Bethany, the hometown of three siblings, Mary, Martha, and Lazarus, is the setting of our devotional study in John 11. Mary and Martha believed Jesus would come quickly to their home in Bethany and heal Lazarus, whom they thought was terminally ill. However, Jesus waited until Lazarus was dead to announce the need to travel to Bethany. Why? Why did Jesus tarry and not go immediately to heal Lazarus?
