Unbelief is a chameleon. It takes on a different color at different times. In this scene at Bethany, we find the Jews expressing their distrust in the Lord with suspicion, questioning whether Jesus loved Lazarus at all. Jesus is grieved again at the sight of this unbelief. When Jesus gives the command for the tomb to be opened, Martha protests His command. She goes down in history as the woman who refused the Lord because of a smell. May the Lord keep us from such forms of unbelief, whether suspicion or excuses against His commands. Our sovereign God is fully capable of addressing all our concerns when He gives His good commands.
