Jesus siempre llega a tiempo || Jesus always arrives on time

How many times have we said or thought: "If the Lord had acted, that would not have happened to him," or "If he had arrived on time, this would not have happened.
For this we can take some time to read the gospel of John chapter 11 from verse 1 to 44
A man named Lazarus was then sick, from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. (Mary, whose brother Lazarus was sick, was the one who anointed the Lord with perfume, and wiped his feet with her hair.
So they sent the sisters to say to Jesus: Lord, behold, the one you love is sick. When Jesus heard it, he said: This disease is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified by it. And Jesus loved Martha, her sister, and Lazarus. So when he heard that he was sick, he stayed two more days in the place where he was.
John 11:1-6
Here we see several characteristics: Jesus was told that his friend was sick. When he heard it he stayed two more days in that place. Jesus already knew and was clear in communicating to the disciples, he was not oblivious to what was happening.
14 Then Jesus told them clearly: Lazarus is dead;
"Later" Jesus came to the village where Martha and Mary were. We see Martha's reaction in verse 21: "And Martha said to Jesus, Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died." And of Mary in verse 32: "Mary, when she came to where he was When Jesus saw him, he fell at his feet, saying to him, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died."
At first glance we may think that Jesus was not interested in his friend, but he rightly says that he loved them. Here the key is in verse 4: "When Jesus heard it, he said, This illness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified by it."
Let's notice the end of this story in verse 45: "Then many of the Jews who had come to accompany Mary, and saw what Jesus did, believed in him."
Let's live the process of the events that happen to us, just as this case usually happens in our lives. God works for good. We may not know it at first, but let's keep hoping that we want what we want and leave it in God's hands. God provides the best for his children. Jesus is never late

¿Cuantas veces hemos dicho o pensado?: "Si el Señor hubiese actuado no le habría sucedido eso", o "Si hubiera llegado a tiempo esto no habría sucedidor.
Para esto podemos tomarnos un tiempo para leer el evangelio de Juan capítulo 11 desde el verso 1 al 44
Estaba entonces enfermo uno llamado Lázaro, de Betania, la aldea de María y de Marta su hermana. (María, cuyo hermano Lázaro estaba enfermo, fue la que ungió al Señor con perfume, y le enjugó los pies con sus cabellos.
Enviaron, pues, las hermanas para decir a Jesús: Señor, he aquí el que amas está enfermo. Oyéndolo Jesús, dijo: Esta enfermedad no es para muerte, sino para la gloria de Dios, para que el Hijo de Dios sea glorificado por ella. Y amaba Jesús a Marta, a su hermana y a Lázaro. Cuando oyó, pues, que estaba enfermo, se quedó dos días más en el lugar donde estaba.
Juan 11:1-6
Acá vemos varias características: Jesús fue avisado que su amigo estaba enfermo. Cuando lo oyó se quedó dos días mas en aquel lugar. Jesús ya sabía y fue claro en comunicar a los dicípulos, no era ajeno a lo que estaba sucediendo.
14 Entonces Jesús les dijo claramente: Lázaro ha muerto;
