It is a very dangerous time in the life of Jesus Christ. He has heard word of a friend who is sick, but his friend lives in an area where people are trying to arrest Jesus. Rather than go to his sick friend, he stays where he is a little while longer. Those around him think he’s making a safe move and playing it safe. But, Jesus always engages on the risky business of promoting the gospel.
