In today's message, Pastor Bogdan explores the story of Lazarus in John 11, emphasizing that Jesus' delays are often purposeful. Despite the suffering and confusion of Mary and Martha, Jesus' decision to wait ensured a greater miracle, demonstrating that His timing is not our own and that His love can mean enduring hardship. The pastor reminds us that even when we feel abandoned or perplexed, Jesus walks with us through our darkest moments, offering hope and resurrection. Ultimately, he encourages us to trust in God's plan and to find strength in our faith, knowing that on the other side of our struggles, God’s glory will be revealed.
