It’s easy to see why Jesus loved this family, and they loved him. That is so perfect! Jesus gave Judas and others present a much needed talk while standing up for a friend. Let her alone why trouble ye her? Jesus (Mark 14:6) The beginning of the conversation included Jesus saying this, Oh, Jesus had a talk with him–informed him this is a sincere service that would be remembered. At another house in Bethany, Mary washed his feet, a very sacred ordinance–and with expensive ointment–which made Judas complain that she was wasting money. Mary and Martha–as well as Lazarus–were good examples of service to the community that led to people noticing their beliefs.Įach sibling contributed to make sure Jesus felt welcome. I infer that some of those observers were prepared to believe because Mary and Martha both talked how they believed in Jesus having mighty power and that he was the son of God. The onlookers were moved how Jesus wept with them, and many believed in Christ when Lazarus came forth from the dead. John 11:35 Christ Comforts Mary and Martha But before that extraordinary miracle, we’re treated–and comforted– by one of my favorite scriptures, In fact, four days after Lazarus died, Mary and Martha still had visitors ready to comfort them and who would witness the extraordinary miracle about to take place when Jesus arrived. Family trying to work together, who are imperfect, and yet find peace in Christ, sounds like a great place to be! Mary and Martha tending to their brother Lazarus, who is ill. Their house was outside of Jerusalem, in the town of Bethany, where Jesus, and his disciples, would visit to take a breather. The three siblings worked together to maintain a refuge. Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. Jesus reached out to Mary and Lazarus as well. Martha, Martha, thou art careful and trouble about many things. When the mistress of the house, Martha, got stressed (which happens to me all the time), it’s neat to see how Christ reached out to her when he said, It’s because their house sounds the most fun–and peaceful. If I could hang out with anyone in the Bible, it would be the siblings, Martha, Mary, and Lazarus.
