Where was Jesus?
John 10:4
Jesus had been showing the glory of the Father to the disciples.
His return to Judea would allow Him to show the glory of the Father to the world through the final events of His ministry- especially the cross.
The disciples do not recognize that Jesus’ death is inevitable.
The disciples are referencing previous events recorded in and 10:31:
John
The Jewish day roughly consisted of 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of night: sunrise to sunset and sunset to sunrise.
Jesus saw the period of His ministry as the day:
and during the “day” He would accomplish His Father’s purpose without stumbling.
Stumbling is a direct reference to the idea that the Jews were going to stone Him if He returned to Judea.
Jesus was basically saying- “I am in the ministry period of the day.
I am not going to be in danger.”
Despite the fears of the disciples, Jesus was determined, in His own time, to respond to the request of Mary and Martha.
Jesus is seeing the WORD of God as Rule and the GLORY of God as His End.
Christ walked in the “day” and so shall we if we follow His steps.
When one is walking in “night” he or she is walking in the way of his or her own heart, in the sight of his or her own eyes, which is to the course of the world.
One consults with self rather than the Lord and therefore that person will stumble.

Jesus is also teaching
Psalm
Consider the following:
Use of the word SLEEP.
Greek word is KOIMESIS.
Job 14:11-12
Daniel
Other OT references us REST:
1 Kings
2 Chronicles
2. uses a different Greek word
3. We know how the story comes out, the disciples didn’t have that advantage.
4. When the messenger came, he spoke of Lazarus being sick and not of his death.
5.
The context makes it clear that the disciples did not want to go to Judea.
John is wanting us to associate verse 11 with verses 25-26.
We must strive to understand what Jesus is saying to us.
Why do you think the disciples were out of tune with the message of Jesus?
John makes it a matter of detail that Jesus was speaking of his real death.
I am reminded that Jesus recognizes and is aware of the death of His saints:
Notice the compassion Jesus has then gives the reason for His delay:
Jesus could have healed him.
Jesus could have prevented his death.
We will see in verse 45 that because He did not, many put their faith in Him!
The phrase: “Let us go to him” is quite significant.
Why do you think this is significant?
Jesus invites His disciples to see the manifestation of God’s glory.
Why do you think that Thomas said this? John mentions Thomas 4 times in his gospel while the other gospels only name him in a list.
Is Thomas trying to be courageous?
