Its funny how I find myself continuously witnessing the power of God. With pain, I tell you that my brother Lazarus has passed away. Mary and I were really upset with Jesus for not coming before he died. As I was looking out my kitchen window, doing dishes, I saw Jesus approaching. I left a house full of guests and a sink full of dishes and ran to him. I asked him why he didn't come sooner. I told him that I believed that he could have healed my brother. When Jesus heard this, he was proud that I had faith in Him.
Four days after Lazarus's death, Mary and I took Jesus to the tomb of Lazarus. Jesus began praying and wanted the rock in front of the tomb to be moved. Being the clean-freak that I am, I noted that the odor would be strong. Still, Jesus called Lazarus and out of the tomb walked my brother. Can you imagine your dead brother rising after putting him to rest four days earlier? I was astonished. I am ashamed once again of my anger towards Jesus. But I am more grateful then I can express to have my brother back, walking this wondrous that my Lord created.
Martha I am very honored that you would mention this story. I am very blessed to have you by my side this whole time. Also, thank you very much for contacting Jesus about my passing.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry about your brothers passing Martha. I know it was painful , but im happy that jesus was able to bring him back from the tomb. And contacting jesus was the most responsible thing you could have done.
