Commentary on John 11:37
Some observers question why Jesus, who opened blind eyes (chapter 9), didn't prevent Lazarus' death. Their logic is sound but limited—they assume prevention superior to resurrection. This reveals human tendency to prefer avoiding suffering over witnessing greater redemption through it. Their question anticipates Jesus' greater answer: not merely preventing death but conquering it. This parallels God's redemptive pattern—not preventing the Fall but redeeming through the Cross.
