So the sisters sent word to Jesus, “Lord, the one you love is sick.” When he heard this, Jesus said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God’s glory so that God’s Son may be glorified through it.” (John:11:3&4)
For every problem that we face in this world, at a certain point it reaches a "natural end" or a state of impossibility. In Lazarus' case, the sickness he got caught in reached its natural end when he died. But the good news is as real as the natural end is, there is a supernatural end for every problem. Hallelujah! Faith in GOD is required if we want to get to the supernatural end. In Lazarus' case, the supernatural end is resurrection. For that to happen, Jesus expected his sisters to show some faith. John:11:40 says Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?”
Jesus was so convinced about the supernatural end to this problem as He didn't even mention Lazarus' death at first when He told His disciples to pack up. He went on to tell them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up.” (John:11:11) Only after the disciples didn't get what He was saying, He plainly said that Lazarus is dead. We ought to have such supernatural level of faith in all our problems that we don't even think about the natural end but only think about the supernatural end.
Note that Lazarus, when he was brought back from the dead wasn't sick but was in good health. He died of sickness but Jesus didn't resurrect him to that state but to the state before He was afflicted with sickness! Are you facing a problem for a long time and you have given up (natural end)? Don't worry, there is an alternate ending and it is going to be supernatural. Talk to your dead situation and say "Lazarus, Come out!" If you're sick and doctors have given up hope say "Divine Health, Come out"! If you're having trouble in your marriage and it is broken say "Divine Relationship, Come out"!
Blessings!
