the story of Martha page 23 by ric gustafson


Martha served their supper as Lazarus and their friend Hanniel were deep in conversation.
" Hanniel, I don't know how I can go to Jerusalem after what just happened".
" My friend I have news from there".
" The rulers have offered a ransom for Jesus so they can arrest him".
Martha stared at their friend. " He taught openly in the Temple why didn't they arrest him then?".
" The rulers are afraid of the people" their friend said as he stroked his beard. " Lazarus, I also have a warning for you".
" What is that?".
" Along with Jesus, the rulers consider you dangerous also".
" Why?".
" Because many now believe in Jesus thanks to you" was his reply. " Be careful".
