—John 11:38-44
by: Paula Reynolds.
The same Martha who initially acknowledged that Jesus was the Son of God began to have doubts as they approached the tomb and Jesus asked for the stone to be rolled away (verse 39). We too sometimes go through periods when we don’t trust that Jesus is able to handle our situations and we question his ways, wondering if his plan is the best one. But just like in this situation Jesus’ plans are the best. After the stone was rolled away and giving glory and praise to the Father he showed his awesome power by raising Lazarus from the dead. The same power helps us today.
