God can be Glorified through human suffering

Ephesians 1(10-11) In Him also we have obtained an inheritance being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will. In john 11, jesus was going to the tomb of Lazarus, he saw Mary weeping there and He must have felt a deep anger. He questioned where the tomb was, once there Jesus called him out from the grave.

Imagine Lazarus in heaven, enjoying his time then someone saying sorry you have to go back now, to a life filled with suffering and pain. Would you want to come back to this life, Well lazarus didnt have that choice because Jesus was the one that was calling him back,what a sweet voice to surrender to,when He calls we should answer Him. Jesus called by name and lazarus still wrapped up came walking out of the tomb.

God can be glorified through human sufferings and bring the good from the bad. The thing for Lazarus is now he would die twice instead of once. But God wpuld glorify himself through the life of lazarus and all of tge family. God's glory through the gospels was truly on display.
