Do you believe in God's word? You don't need to help God keep His promises. Ishmael was born to Abraham's and Sarah's handmaiden Hagar. He is called the child of the flesh. Never mix mans way with God's ways. Your hindering what God wants to do. There was a 25 year gap due to the sin.
Perhaps one the greatest miracles Jesus did was when He would raise someone from the dead. He did this on three occasions. He raised Jairus’ daughter (Mk. 5) and widow’s son (Lk. 7). These two miracles was done shortly after the person died. However, the miracle we are going to examine today is when Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead after he had been dead for 4 days, which makes in an even more impressive miracle because the decay of the body would also have to be restored.
Jesus did not just love the family of Lazarus as a whole; He loved each member of the family. Every Christian today is loved individual by Jesus. Even though Jesus loved Lazarus and knew that he was going to die, He stayed behind two more days. Some might view Jesus’ delay as unloving since He could have healed His friend, but He always puts the Father’s will first. His human side may have wanted to go and heal Lazarus. As far as that goes, He could have healed him from where He was because He had done that before (Lk. 7:1-10), but Jesus was willing to uphold the will of the Father no matter how difficult it may have been for Him.
