When fear grips the heart and the future feels uncertain, where do we turn?

In John 11:7–10, Jesus looks into the face of danger and walks toward it — not recklessly, but obediently, fully trusting the Father’s will. In this week’s episode, Running Out of Tomorrows, we slow down through this powerful moment in the Gospel of John to see how Christ’s courage shines light on our own fear and faith.

When Jesus says, “Let us go to Judea again,” He’s walking straight back into the place where they tried to kill Him. The disciples see danger. Jesus sees divine purpose. And in this sacred tension, we discover what it really means to walk in the day — to trust the Father’s sovereign timing when the night feels near.

Through John 11:7–10, we’ll uncover:

• Why Christ’s delay was not neglect, but love.
• How faith overcomes fear when the path ahead feels dark.
• The comfort of knowing that nothing unfolds apart from the Father’s hand.
• The peace that comes from walking in the light of God’s will.

Rooted in Scripture, guided by the 1689 London Baptist Confession, and nourished by the hope of the Gospel — this episode calls us back to steady confidence in Christ’s sovereign care.

Even when it feels like you’re running out of tomorrows, God is still writing the story.

The cliché says, “Good things come to those who wait.” The Bible presents us with a profound, divine truth: Christ’s waiting is an act of His everlasting love.

When Jesus heard his dear friend Lazarus was critically ill, he didn't rush to save him. He intentionally stayed two days longer. Was this indifference? Absolutely not. The popular saying subtly shifts our hope to a transactional system where we believe we are "owed" something. Scripture offers something infinitely better.

In this in-depth exploration of John 11:5–6, Pastor Clayton reveals that Christ’s delay was an act of profound, sovereign commitment. We examine the original Greek word for love (agapeˉ) to settle a foundational assurance:

• God’s Love is Unchanging: His commitment to you is a decree of His will, not a discovery of merit in the creature (Titus 3:4–7).
• The Delay is by Design: Jesus's purposeful waiting was not a failure of affection, but the sovereign choreography required to stage a greater display of God's glory and strengthen your faith.
• The Furnace of Faith: Christ’s love is not proven by how quickly He delivers us, but by how perfectly He conforms us to His glory (1 Peter 1:6–7). The trials of waiting are the furnace where faith is purified.
• The Ultimate Renewal: The "good thing" that comes is not a quick fix; it is Christ who comes to make all things new and wipe away every tear (Revelation 21:3–7).

His silence is not His absence. It is His promise on the way. Stop trying to fix everything yourself, and rest in the peace that comes from knowing the One you wait for is faithful to renew your strength (Isaiah 40:31).

What do you do when God feels silent, when His timing seems late, and suffering feels like it’s winning?

In John 11:1–4, Jesus delays when His beloved friend Lazarus is sick—and it looks like He has failed. But the Lord shows us that His delays are never careless. They are purposeful, loving, and aimed at something greater: the glory of God and the strengthening of our faith.

In this episode, we’ll walk through the opening verses of John 11, seeing how Christ’s love holds us even in the waiting. You’ll discover why His timing is perfect, why your trials are not wasted, and how every apparent delay is woven into God’s eternal story of resurrection and hope.

If you’ve ever wondered if Jesus is too late for you, this passage is for you.
