Friends, God bless you and help you have FAITH
like Mary and Martha.
Mary and Martha believed “Where there is
Jesus, there is no dead! Because, Jesus is ‘the Messiah, the Son of God, who is to come into the
world.” The two also confessed their faith. Therefore, the Lord blessed them
beyond their believe by ‘raising their dead brother Lazarus from the dead.”
Lazarus
was sick. His two sister Mary and her sister Martha sent word to Jesus. On his
arrival, Jesus found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days. When Martha heard that
Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him,
“Lord,” Martha said to
Jesus, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died. But I know that even
now God will give you whatever you ask.”
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and
the life. The one who believes in me will live, even
though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?”
“Yes, Lord,” she
replied, “I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who is to come into the
world.”
When Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to him, she
fell at his feet and said, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not
have died.”
Jesus said, “Where have you laid
him?”
and came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the
entrance.
“Take away the stone,” he said.
“But, Lord,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man, “by this
time there is a bad odor, for he has been there four days.”
Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory
of God?”
So they took away the stone. Jesus looked up and prayed to His
Father in Heaven. Then, called in a loud voice,
“Lazarus, come out!”
The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of
linen, and a cloth around his face.
Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave
clothes and let him go.”
Therefore many of the Jews who had come to visit
Mary, and had seen what Jesus did, believed in him. (John 11:1-45)
Friends, Jesus is alive even
today and forever. He still raised the dead and heals sick and will do forever.
Have faith in Him and confess your total faith as done by Mary and Martha. Call
on Him now in prayer. He will answer you.
Write ‘Amen’ if you call on
Him having full faith. God bless you.
