John11:4
4 When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death , but for the glory of God; that the Son of God might be glorified thereby .
God hath not sent this Sickness upon Lazarus to determine his being upon the Earth; or such a separation of the Soul of Lazarus from his Body, as there shall be no reunion of it before the general Resurrection, (which is our ordinary Notion of Death) God hath not sent this Sickness for that purpose
but that he might be glorified by his Son, raising him from the dead: God is glorified, when his Son is glorified; and Christ is glorified, when his Divine Power is manifested, so as men acknowledge him to be what indeed he is.
