Insights on Today's Reading

John 11 - This chapter primarily deals with the raising of Lazarus from the dead and the aftermath of that event.  When Jesus was told that Lazarus was sick He waited four days before heading to Bethany.  He wanted Lazarus to face death and the grave in order to show His great power over both death and the grave.  This would bring greater glory to Him, verse 4.  When Jesus came to Martha and Mary He would be told that Lazarus had died and was already buried.  This gave Jesus the opportunity to reveal that He was "...the resurrection and the life..." verses 25,26.  He would "weep" verse 35, as He went to the grave.  But, Jesus would raise Lazarus from the dead by simply calling for him to come, verse 43,44.  The Pharisees sought to kill Jesus.  Caiaphas, the high priest, used that occasion to predict that someone would have to die for all the people, but he didn't really know how true that would be, verses 51,52.
