Ex. 24:3-8 | Ps. 50:1-2, 5-6, 14-15 | Jn 11:19-27
Moses shares the new Covenant and the commandments with the people. They agree to carry out all that God is asking of them.
Martha was Mary and Lazarus’ sister. This family was very close to Jesus. Today’s Gospel tells the story of Jesus’ meeting with Martha before He raises Lazarus from the dead. Martha heard that Jesus was coming, and she goes to greet Him. Jesus tells her that He is the resurrection and the life. Martha confesses her belief in Jesus as the Messiah. Martha’s grief is deep. She has lost her beloved brother, and she is disturbed because Jesus had not healed him. Jesus attempts to bring Martha to a new level of belief in Him, and she comes to confess this belief.
What is the level of your belief? Do you believe in Christ because you have experienced His love? Do you believe that Christ is a healer? Moses’ face was radiant when he encountered the living God. Do you allow yourself to hear what Christ is saying to you? Take time in prayer to be with God so that you may come to know the greatness of God. Ask God to touch your heart with love so that you can give that love to others.
