11.14.24. Glory to God!

John 11: God’s glory revealed

In John 9, the disciples asked Jesus who caused the man’s blindness. Jesus said no one’s sin caused it, but it was to reveal God’s glory. Here Lazarus is sick and Jesus again says It it for God’s glory and so that He himself would be glorified through it. It is interesting that in John 9 none of the disciples gave God glory for the blind to be seeing. In John 11 we see that men did not give God glory for the resurrection of Lazarus, instead they sought to kill Him for this miracle of life. 

This miracle of resurrection of Lazarus would prove to all that He is God’s Son with power over sickness and death. It is for this reason he came…to glorify God.

When I see the work of the Lord, do I stop and give Him words of affirmation and glory or do I still seek self glorification?
