Commentary on John 11:40
Jesus gently rebukes Martha by recalling His earlier promise (v. 23-26). The conditional 'if thou wouldest believe' doesn't question her faith but calls for its actualization. Believing isn't passive assent but active trust that yields to God's word despite appearances. 'Thou shouldest see the glory of God' promises revelation contingent on faith. This order—believe, then see—reverses human preference. Glory manifests not to produce faith but to those exercising faith. This models the principle: faith precedes sight (2 Cor 5:7).
