In the midst of swirling rumors about his mental health and alleged drug use, Justin Bieber takes to Instagram to deliver a powerful message, drawing comparisons between his struggles and the biblical story of Lazarus.
- March 7, 2025
AceShowbiz - Justin Bieber sparked a mix of concern and curiosity among fans with his cryptic Instagram posts. On March 6, the "Sorry" singer shared a series of messages referencing the Bible story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead.
He wrote, "Jesus didn't heal his best friend Lazareth [sic] right away. Even tho he knew people would talk s***, saying how could he be god if he didn't heal his best friend?" He continued, "But Jesus wasn't trying to please everyone and didn't allow people to rush him. He knew what he was capable of."
Bieber highlighted what he saw as the most crucial part of the story, "Best part of this story is while everyone thinks Jesus is late and let his friend die. Jesus is never late. He shows up and RAISES HIM FROM THE DEAD SHOWING THAT HE HAS THE POWER OVER LIFE AND DEATH."
The post concluded on a dramatic note, "Why u trippin' didn't I tell u fools I'm HIM," further adding to the enigmatic nature of his message.
These posts come just weeks after Bieber's representative vehemently denied allegations about the singer's drug use. According to the rep's statement to TMZ on February 23, the rumors are "exhausting and pitiful" and fail to acknowledge the truth, specifically that Justin is at a "transformative" point in his life.
The singer, who shares a 6-month-old son named Jack with his wife Hailey Bieber, is reportedly focused on his family and new music, despite the challenges of parenthood and public scrutiny.
This isn't the first time Justin publicly addressed his past struggles with substance abuse. In his 2020 documentary "Seasons," he opened up about his teenage years marked by experimentation with various drugs like lean, pills, and MDMA, noting that it was his way of escaping the pressures that came with fame.
While Bieber's recent posts have stirred speculation, his intent seems clear: Just as Jesus took his time to perform miracles, Bieber is navigating his life at his own pace, undeterred by naysayers. For young people facing their own personal struggles, Justin's message may serve as a relatable reminder that growth and healing are processes not to be rushed.
