Everyone will have a death of Lazarus experience; no one is exempt. A death of Lazarus experience represents an experience that's unimaginable. Jesus loved Lazarus and would surely be there for him. After all, he healed strangers, hadn't he? Yet, He let Lazarus die. Why? Aren't believers to experience a life of love, peace, joy and victory? Why does God allow these situations in our lives if He loves us? We simply can't wrap our minds around them. It seems more than we can bear. Some Christians don't make it through "the weeping of the night," to experience the joy that comes in the morning What we really believe about God and ourselves will be revealed during times of trial. The challenge is not simply to get through the test but about our attitudes during the process. Our faith is always on trial and as Christians, we represent our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. God's Glory is to be our ultimate goal. The question is, how do we do it? The author shares relevant insights on how to deal with life's most difficult challenges through personal life experiences; for he knows that peace is not the absence of trouble, but the presence of Christ in its midst."
