God bless YOU!!!! this is your first step to know the lord!

These powerful passages talked about the faith, healing and resurrection! Mary and Martha’s brother Lazarus died and laid 4 days before Jesus came to see them. At this point Mary loss hope, faith and was bitter because Jesus did not make it in time to heal her brother. Martha, saw Jesus and was overwhelmed because the savior has come. Martha was overjoyed-at this point. Jesus wants all of us to have faith, don’t cease from praying, keep growing in God’s word as Martha did. She was not angry or blamed Jesus for being late such as Mary did. In life everything we want might not come when we want it, only Jesus time is perfect. Jesus wept not because of Lazarus, but the sorrow for Mary and Martha were feeling. Yes, when we are in pain Jesus is in pain, he feels our heart. Jesus asked to remove the rock, of course they protested saying Lazarus have been dead for 4 days; his body has decayed. Jesus said in a loud voice “Lazarus come forth” and he did.

This powerful message talks about our own selfishness of what we want, it brings about understanding of who Jesus truly is. Also bring to light hope, faith, and trust. This story also tells us about our own resurrection. Before we can live we must be born again. This is our resurrection to be born again.

John 11:24 “Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
John 11:25 “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.”
