Commentary on John 11:6
Jesus' deliberate delay appears contrary to love but demonstrates sovereign wisdom. The two additional days ensured Lazarus had been dead four days (v. 17), exceeding Jewish belief that the soul lingered three days. This timing maximized the miracle's evidential power. Christ's delay reveals that God's timing perfects His purposes; immediate answers might diminish greater demonstrations of grace. This tests and strengthens faith.
