John 11:17 -27 Life and Death


Then when Jesus had arrived, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days.

(Bethany was near Jerusalem, under about fifteen stadia [less than two miles] so many of the Judeans had some to Mary and Martha to comfort them about their brother. )

So when Martha heard that Jesus was coming , she went to meet him. Mary stayed in the house. 

Then Martha said to Jesus, ‘Lord if you had been here, my brother would not have died. But even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.‘

Jesus said to her ‘Your brother will rise.’

Martha said to him ‘ I know that he will be raised at the resurrection on the last day.’

Jesus said to her ‘I am the resurrection and the life.

The one who believes in me, even if they die, will come to life.
And everyone who lives (the resurrection life)  and believes in me, shall never die.
Do you believe this? 

She said to him ‘Yes, Lord. I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who would come into the world. ‘

What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer

Oh, what peace we often forfeit
Oh, what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer

Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged
Take it to the Lord in prayer

Can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness
Take it to the Lord in prayer
