the story of Martha page 19 by ric gustafson
Martha felt her brother's brow. It was warm with fever. She put a cool cloth on his forehead and tried to get him to drink some water. " We must send for Jesus" she said as she stared at her sister. " He will know what to do".
Their friend Nathan spoke up. " I will go find him, I know where he is".
Martha shook her head in approval.
He put on his cloak and left.
The first day their friend was gone, Lazarus's breathing got heavier.
The second day, Martha went to the courtyard gate and wondered when Jesus was coming.
By the fourth day, Martha and Mary held their brother's hand as he breathed his last.
Jesus still had not come.
