Martha page 16 by ric gustafson
Jesus, Martha and Mary walked toward a tomb. Martha saw tears come down her Master's face. They stopped in front of a tomb with a large stone against the entrance.
" Take away the stone".
" Lord, there is a stench". Martha frowned. " He has been dead four days".
" Just believe".
Nathan, Simon and Tobias moved the heavy stone from the entrance.
Jesus looked up. " Father, thank you for hearing me". He quietly walked up to the entrance. " Lazarus, come forth".
From the darkness came a wrapped figure.
Martha and Mary cried with joy.
" Loose him and let him go".
" Sister". Martha embraced Mary. " Our brother is restored to us".
Jesus and his disciples stayed with them for two days.
On the third day, they had to leave.
Martha embraced Jesus. " Thank you Master for bringing back my brother".
" It gave me joy to restore one I love dearly to his family".
