What if God’s timing doesn’t match your expectations?

On the Fifth Sunday of Lent, Cn. Oliver Lee reflects on the raising of Lazarus—the final and greatest “sign” in the Gospel of John—and what it reveals about suffering, disappointment, and the glory of God.

When Jesus arrives too late, when prayers seem unanswered, and when loss feels final, we’re left asking the same question Martha asked: Where was God?

This message reminds us that suffering is not a sign of God’s absence, but often the very place where His glory is revealed most clearly. Even in grief, even in disappointment, even when things feel beyond hope—God is still at work.

Because in the darkest moments, God is often doing His deepest work.

📖 Scripture: John 11:1–45
