John 11

A couple of things stand out to me here.

John 11:32 - 36
Jesus knows our hurt. The weeping of Mary and the friends and family gathered so moved Jesus that He was overcome with emotion as well. It was evident to people that He loved Lazarus and his family. Even though He has the power to fix all things and make them better, He still understands where we are now.

John 11:4, 15, 40
Jesus is very adamant about giving glory to God. Even though it would cause great hardship and pain for the people involved, He ensured that His actions pointed to God and displayed His power.

John 11:21, 32, 39
God has a plan. Although it might not fit our expectations or our own timeline, He is orchestrating everything to reflect His glory. It's our job to participate with Him in His plan and ensure He is glorified through us.
