Why does Jesus delay in coming to Lazarus?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus delays to ensure that God's glory is revealed through Lazarus's death and resurrection.

In John 11:6, it is noted that Jesus stays where He is for two days after hearing of Lazarus's illness, which may appear puzzling. However, this deliberate delay is intentional to demonstrate God's power and glory more profoundly through the miraculous raising of Lazarus. It teaches us that God's timing is crucial and serves a divine purpose, reinforcing the belief that trials and delays do not negate His love or ability to act, but rather serve to manifest His glory and strengthen the faith of those involved.
