When Jesus tells death to do something, death faithfully obeys.
Death is loyal to the commands of God.

When God speaks authoritatively Death answers faithfully.

I hope that we can at least be as good examples as death itself. Listen and subscribe

Borrowing from Julius Caesar, "I came, I saw, I conquered" Jesus does that over death, but first He weeps.

Jesus weeps because He loves people. Every person who has ever lived has felt the sting of death.

Jesus weeps because He loves the cross. At least, He knows He will embrace the suffering and humiliation of the cross to get to the conquering part.

"The Teacher is here and is calling for YOU."
Mary hears that Jesus is calling for her specifically.
Everyone who comes to belief has that exact, specific, individual call. Yes, Jesus comes to save "The World", but He does so one at a time. He does it specifically and personally. If N is the kingdom, it grows by N + 1.
Perhaps YOU are the +1 today. If not, subscribe to the Youtube channel so you can be the one tomorrow.

The first diamond Martha gets is Jesus' revelation of Himself: I am the resurrection and the life.
The second diamond Martha gets is her invitation to participate in Diamond #1 by belief. This is the associative Christianity that we get to enjoy. Jesus flat out challenges her: do you believe this? And how about you, dear listener?
DO YOU BELIEVE THIS? If so, come back tomorrow

DO YOU BELIEVE THIS.? If not yet, Come back tomorrow.

Jesus demonstrates how much He loves Martha, and women, and humanity by the treasure that He gives her. He could have given it to a king, or His disciples or the Elon Musk of the day. Yet, He chose to give it to Martha.

Martha gets the biggest diamond. Fortunately, she shares it with us today. Please listen, and especially subscribe and like.

Jesus has some stuff to show His followers. Here, He PROVES His power over death.

It is important. It needs to be a settled issue. We will call upon this same topic when Jesus Himself rises from the dead. We will call upon this settled issue when our family members die in the faith. Finally, we will need this reality when we ourselves die in this world.

Welcome to the amazing story of Lazarus rising from the dead.

Scripture makes an audacious claim about itself: Scripture cannot be broken.

There is a flawless internal consistency of the Bible that despite being penned by dozens of authors, (40), over thousands of years, it maintains a coherent and unified message from the first page to the last. It is why this podcast can move between book and testaments and types of literature and stay on theme. This is one large set of evidence of the Books’ divine origin and perfect truthfulness. The only way to explain the perfect internal consistency is to acknowledge the Bible to be what it claims to be: God’s revelation of Himself in Word form.

We are UNSNATCHABLE Not because of our awesome SHEEP STRENGTH.

We are UNSNATCHABLE because of our association, and position Under the Shepherd of the Sheep.

Let's ENJOY that unsnatchable position.
