About this listen
In this episode of The Omar K. Mills Show, we walk slowly through John 11, the story of Lazarus, Martha, and Mary—and one of the most difficult truths in Scripture: sometimes love delays.
Jesus knows Lazarus is sick.
Jesus knows Lazarus will die.
Jesus loves this family.
And still… He waits.
This teaching explores what God may be doing when His timing feels confusing, painful, or even absent. We look at how delay is not indifference, how love and suffering can coexist, and why God’s purposes are often bigger than the relief we’re asking for in the moment.
This isn’t a rushed reading or a tidy explanation. It’s an invitation to sit in the tension of the text—and to trust God when obedience means waiting without answers.
In this episode:
- Why Jesus delays instead of rushing to fix the problem
- What John 11 teaches us about love, trust, and timing
- The difference between God’s absence and God’s restraint
- How faith grows in the space between prayer and fulfillment
If you’ve ever wondered where God is when things don’t make sense, this episode is for you.
