The Providence of Christ

John 11:6 'When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.' This sermon examines the raising of Lazarus in John 11 to illustrate the providence and sovereignty of Christ. The preacher emphasises that severe sickness does not diminish God's love, countering false teachings that equate illness with sin or lack of faith. Believers are encouraged to approach God with respectful and honest supplication during trials, trusting that His delays are not denials. The text highlights that every affliction serves a purpose for the glory of God, ultimately bringing comfort and joy to those who wait on Him in faith.
