73 The Greatest Miracle

John 11:17-44, TBC Book Two, Chapter 73
Without anyone telling him, Jesus knew that his friend Lazarus had died. By the time he and his disciples reached Bethany, Lazarus had been in the tomb for four days. Bethany was only two miles from Jerusalem, where some of the Jews still wanted to stone Jesus. Many people had come to Bethany to mourn the death of Lazarus and to comfort his sisters, Mary and Martha. Among them were some Jews from Jerusalem.

When Martha learned that Jesus was on his way to Bethany, she left the house to go meet him. But Mary was so grieved and so hurt that she stayed at home.

When Martha saw Jesus, she said, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. But I know that, even now, God would give you whatever you asked.”

Jesus knew what she was hinting at. “Your brother will rise again,” he said.

Martha wasn’t sure if Jesus understood what she had meant. . . .
