Did you notice when Lazarus had died? Jesus, they sent for Him to come pray for Lazarus, He didn’t come, He just went on. Wonder why. He had a vision that Lazarus had to die. So when He went on, if you’ll notice the Scriptures close, He goes on, they sent again, He never came, and on. Then after He…He said after while, “Our friend Lazarus sleepeth.” Or, “He’s dead,” He told them in plain words. And so He said, “But for your sake, I’m glad I wasn’t there, but I go wake him.”
