Lazarus had died, and Mary and Martha informed Jesus about his death. Instead of tending to him right away, Jesus waited. He waited not because He didn't care, but because He chose to use the situation for the glory of God. Martha asks why He wasn't there in the first place to save His friend since she knew He had healed the sick before. Jesus tells her He is the resurrection and the life and asks if she believes this. Did she believe Jesus had the power to give life and life abundantly? Did she believe Jesus had the power to make old things new? He invites us to answer as well. Do we believe?
