Matthew Poole and continuators on John 11:40

40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, That, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God ?

Christ now beginneth to open to Martha and Mary, and the rest, his resolution to raise Lazarus from the Dead by and by. Christ saith that to us in his word, which he saith by a just consequence, tho he doth not speak it in so many words: we do not read in this History, that Christ had spoken this in so many words and syllables, but he had spoken it in effect; he had told her, ver. 25. that He was the Resurrection and the Life, that he had Power to raise Dead Bodies from a Natural Death to Life; and that for those who believed in him, tho they were dead, they should live. This could not be without a great manifestation of the glory of God: the Power of God is his glory. Once have I spoken (saith the Psalmist) yea, twice have I heard it, that Power belongs to God. Thou shouldest see God by me manifesting the glory of his Almighty Power; God glorifying himself, and glorifying his Son. Believing brings us in experiences of God; whereas unbelief, as it were, limiteth God, and tieth up his hands.
