the story of Martha page 29 by ric gustafson


Martha was lighting the Sabbath candles when she heard the back gate open. She ran out to see a sorrowful look on Lazarus's face.
" What is it Lazarus?".
" Jesus is dead".
" What" Martha replied in shock. All of a sudden, she felt weak and slumped onto a nearby bench. " What happened my brother?".
" He was arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane by soldiers led by Judas Iscariot".
" Judas" Martha said with a serious look. " I never did trust him".
" He was brought before Caiaphas then Pilate".
" He was not guilty of a crime".
" Pilate released the criminal Barrabas and then had Jesus crucified".
" Lazarus, what is going to happen to us now?".
" My dear sister, I don't know".
