In a world full of suffering, injustice, and darkness, many wonder—why doesn’t God act now? Why not bring justice and healing immediately? This message explores the divine purpose behind God’s timing, asking the question: Why does our Lord wait for the resurrection?

Drawing on the account of Lazarus in John 11 and the framework of God’s holy days, we see that God delays not out of neglect, but out of love, mercy, and purpose.
