Treasuring Jesus - John 11:1-16

A familiar passage (when Lazarus dies), but still a few things stood out to me:

1. "Then Jesus told them plainly, 'Lazarus has died. . . ' "

          I love the fact that sometimes the Lord knows we just don't 'get it' and because of the great love and compassion He has for His dear little ones, He spells it out as clearly as possible for us!  

2. "Let us also go, that we may die with him."

          I love how humanly (and overly dramatic) the Lord allowed the disciples to be presented in scripture!  Embarrassingly like me at times - and yet so amazingly comforting!  If the Lord can use this band of misfits, He can surely use me as well!
