Second, why does Jesus weep? And lastly, why does Lazarus never speak? So let's start with our first small part of the story, that when you meditate on it and when you overanalyze it and you sip that aroma, it gives way to a really complex vintage.
So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days.
So we actually need to hold three things together in our mind here to actually understand this first point.
The first thing we need to hold together is that Jesus said that this sickness will not end in death.
But as we know, even if you only read only about 10 verses through into the story, Lazarus does actually die from this illness.
Now, this distinction that John is making in the story is more than just that blanket remark that one makes about how, oh, I really love cheese and biscuits.
And it's more than just like a pop star would say to their fans, I love you all from the stage.
John is pointing out that Jesus has a special relationship with these three siblings.
And this is not to say that Jesus doesn't love everyone, but that while on earth, Jesus did have particular people who he was closer to than others.
At one level, you might be thinking, how is that fair? Why do people like Mary and Joseph and the Twelve and these three siblings, Martha, Mary, And Lazarus get this special relationship with Jesus that others don't.
