Justin Bieber is in his preaching era. 

Shortly after the “Sorry” singer’s rep slammed rumors that Justin—who shares baby Jack, 6 months, with wife Hailey Bieber—has been using hard drugs, he shared a cryptic biblical message to social media. 

“Jesus didn’t heal his best friend Lazareth [sic] right away,” Justin wrote in a March 6 Instagram Story. “Even tho he knew people would talk s–t, saying how could he be god if he didn’t heal his best friend?”

The Grammy winner’s post references the Gospel of John in the Bible, during which Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead. 

“But Jesus wasn’t trying to please everyone and didn’t allow people to rush him,” Justin continued. “He knew what he was capable of.”

And Justin emphasized his interest in the biblical story because of how many people doubted Jesus.

“Best part of this story is while everyone thinks Jesus is late and let his friend die,” Justin added. “Jesus is never late. He shows up and RAISES HIM FROM THE DEAD SHOWING THAT HE HAS THE POWER OVER LIFE AND DEATH.”
