Martha page 9 by ric gustafson
Martha could not believe the sad news of late. Her father had passed away. Thaddeus, whom she loved and wanted to marry was killed in battle. Now, the wedding of Lazarus and Shua was off. Shua married a man named Tekoa.
Before going back home, Lazarus and Martha decided to seek out this new Rabbi named Jesus. They found him at the Temple. He was speaking to the Pharisees. Martha studied him. He was tall, had a thick beard and a dark complexion.
" You search the Scriptures". Jesus sighed. " But you are not willing to come to me".
Lazarus turned to a man next to him. " Why are the leaders upset at this Rabbi?".
" He healed a paralyzed man on the Sabbath". His voice hesitated. " It is unlawful to do so".
Lazarus walked up to Jesus. They talked. He walked back to Martha. " We must return quickly".
" Why is that?".
" I invited Jesus and his disciples to come to our house".
