24Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.” 25Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me, even if he dies, will live. Everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” 27“Yes, Lord,” she told him, “I believe you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who comes into the world.” 28Having said this, she went back and called her sister Mary, saying in private, “The Teacher is here and is calling for you.”

Did Martha believe that life itself is connected to him? “Yes, Lord”: Even though she did not fully understand, she acknowledged that Jesus was the Christ, God's chosen one. But she was still surprised by his power.Read the comment
