Miracles Can Require Process
Miracles can require process, like Lazarus. Dying was part of the process of his miracle! In John 11, Some thought “Jesus wept” because He was 
grieving over His friend, but I believe Jesus was weeping over their pain that misunderstanding caused during the process they were experiencing. He had already said that the result of Lazarus’ sickness would not be death (vs. 4). When Jesus got to the tomb, He got angry. Again, I believe He was upset because they were not AWARE that a PROCESS means God is working on a much bigger project than just the lightening moment we need. They did not know that the resurrection of Lazarus was a demonstration to convince hearts that Jesus was the Christ sent by God as well as a prophetic sign of His own resurrection to come. Step by step, the resurrection of Lazarus was a crucial miracle that fulfilled a much bigger purpose than the personal need.
