Because his witness in his death furthered Gods plan for His Church. If healing him would have furthered the Gospel more God would have done it. We do it have the big picture. Gods ways are not our ways. We need to be still and know God is sovereign are trust Him.

[Our pastor was talking about the following verse on Sunday. “Now remember, this was written when the Romans were persecuting Christians - with the Emperor lighting his gardens by burning Christians alive tight to stakes.”]
6 So be truly glad.[b] There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you must endure many trials for a little while. 7 These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.
8 You love him even though you have never seen him. Though you do not see him now, you trust him; and you rejoice with a glorious, inexpressible joy. 9 The reward for trusting him will be the salvation of your souls.
10 This salvation was something even the prophets wanted to know more about when they prophesied about this gracious salvation prepared for you. 11 They wondered what time or situation the Spirit of Christ within them was talking about when he told them in advance about Christ’s suffering and his great glory afterward.

Nabeel’s faith kept him strong, and it brings him “much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.”
Well done, good and faithful servant.
