—John 11:17-27
by: Gem Barton.
“Lord if you had been here my brother would not have died.” These words were spoken by Martha, who was obviously experiencing the pain that is felt when we lose a loved one. Often, when we are burdened with earthly sorrows, we forget who Jesus really is and what His resurrection means to us. Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies” (v.25). These are comforting words for each of us as we think upon the eternal life Jesus has provided for us by His death.
