the story of Martha page 20 by ric gustafson
Martha watched her brother's body as Mary went to get Anna. As she waited, she wondered what good it would do if Jesus came now. Now her brother was dead she thought as Mary and Anna returned carrying ointment and spices. The three women quietly and carefully prepared their brother's body for burial.
Men from the village came and took the body to a tomb and then sealed it up with a stone. After friends had come to say their goodbyes, Martha and Mary went home. Mary was comforted by townspeople but Martha bitterly sat in a corner of the house.
' Why didn't he come' she wondered as tears came streaming down her face.
Peace and God's blessings. Love Ric
