Martha page 18 by ric gustafson
Lazarus watched Jesus ascend into a cloud. Then two angels told them that he would return the same way. Then he felt a hand on his shoulder. It was John.
" Religious leaders are plotting your death". The disciple frowned. " Your life is in danger".
" Thank you my friend for the warning".
" We will manage Lazarus". Martha sighed. " Your safety is more important".
They quickly returned home. Martha gathered provisions for her brother's journey.
Thomas spoke up. " I have relatives in Damascus". He smiled. " They will take care of you".
" Thank you Thomas".
Thomas grinned. " They are believers".
When it was time to leave, Lazarus embraced his sister. " Thank you for being more than a sister to me".
He began to walk down the road.
Martha cried.
