Healthy People
Jesus said to her, "Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?"
John 11:40 (ESV)
“Did I not tell you….?” I wonder if this is equivalent to "How many times must I tell you?" Jesus is the definition of patient, loving, and kind, and uses this questioning as a tool for learning.
I am sure that before Lazarus died, his sisters would have acknowledged that Jesus is God, did all things correctly, and was the very source of life and love.
Sometimes we struggle living in harmony with our beliefs. We say we know God, yet, at times, we demonstrate doubt. We say we trust His plan, yet, at times, we question His plan. We say we believe in eternal life, yet, at times, we fear death.
Healthy people work at knowing God and applying what they know to their lives. Knowing something and not using it is foolish. May none of us be fools.
