    Mary & Martha said that Lazarus was the one whom Jesus loved. But how could Jesus treat a friend like He did? Why would He callously stay away while this close friend died... and He could have prevented it?

    This is the 32nd sermon from a series on the Gospel of John. In this sermon we look at how Jesus delayed his coming to Mary and Martha after Lazarus' death, and why He did that. As well as why it's so important to know Jesus, rather than just know about Him.
