Martha was sad. Her brother had been dead for four days. 

Just then, Judith ran up to her. " Jesus is coming". She smiled. " He is just outside Bethany".

Martha wasn't sure what to tell her Master. She was mad at him for not coming when Lazarus was really sick.

Jesus came.

" Lord, if you had been here". She frowned at Jesus. " My brother would not have died".

Jesus smiled. " Your brother will rise again".

Martha gave him a puzzled stare. " I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day".

" I am the resurrection and the life". He looked at Martha. " Do you believe that?".

" Yes Lord". She grinned. " I believe that you are the Messiah".

" Please go fetch your sister".
