“This sickness is not to end in death but for the glory of God,” v4. This statement is a response to the message that Lazarus, a close friend of Jesus, was very ill. Rather than rushing to Lazarus, Jesus responded with the above assurance and took two more days to respond. When He said it was time to leave, He pointed out that Lazarus was already dead and was in the tomb, v17. Yet when He finally went to the tomb, He called Lazarus by name, v43, and “The man who had died came forth!!”

No matter what sickness, disease or future we face,  “This sickness – or anything else will not end in death.” The graves will be opened, the stones rolled away; the dead in Christ will be raised!  1 Thess. 4:13-18.
