Even When It Hurts (4) Mary and Martha


Listen Later

Death came as a result of humanity's leap into sin. It hurts to lose someone--God had planned for us to live without death, so it is unnatural. To introduce today's text in John 11, Levi reminded us of the two sisters, Mary and Martha, who lived in Bethany and were good friends and followers of Jesus. In John 11, their brother, Lazarus, was sick and near death. The sisters send word to Jesus, "He whom you love is ill."
