Title: “HAVING JESUS LIMITLESSLY ’’

The Gospel tells us how our Lord Jesus Christ raised his friend Lazarus to life after four days in the tomb. We discover that our Lord delayed coming to see Lazarus for two days when he heard that he was sick. When he eventually showed up, Lazarus had died. Meeting up with the Lord, Martha, and Mary at different times said, “Lord if you had been here, my brother would not have died!” They were implying that the Lord shouldn’t have delayed in coming when he heard about the sickness of Lazarus. God’s delay is not a denial, and God’s time is different from ours; it is the best. Our Lord Jesus Christ showed up at a time when all hope was lost to restore hope.  At some seasons of your life, you may have wished that God showed up earlier. It could be during the time of sickness, bereavement, unemployment, marriage, or relationship problems. Always remember that his time is the best!
