John 9;11 – Does God Treat Strangers Better than His Friends?
Jesus heals the blind man, a complete stranger, for the glory of God (Jn.9:3); and then does not heal his friend whom He loves, Lazarus, both for the glory of God (Jn.11:4) and because Jesus loves Lazarus, Martha and Mary (Jn.11:5-6). In the eyes of mere humans, Jesus treats the Blind man better than He does His friend (Jn.11:36-37). Oh how “mere” we are today when moaning about how God treats us. Just wait. Glory is coming. Lazarus arose. Jesus arose. We will arise!
