still further faith that whatsoever He asked o f God, God would grant (v. 22, cf. v. 42). There was even a faints hope that Jesus might raise Lazarus from the dead in answer to Jesus’ prayers. But she hesi­ tated to come right out plainly' and ask Jesus for this. But Jesus understood her ( v .'23). He always understands our unex­ pressed longings. He answered, “ Thy brother shall rise again.” Blessed promise, and He is saying it to all o f us whose loved ones have fallen asleep in Him, “thy brother shall rise again,” “ thy husband shall rise again,” “thy child shall rise again.” But Martha was not satisfied yet, she feared that Jesus referred to the general resur­ rection somewhere away off in the dim and distant future. But Jesus gave her a new and glorious thought about the resurrec­ tion, “ I am the resurrection and the life.” I f then, we wish resurrection and life, all we have to do is to get Jesus Himself (cf. I John 5:12). Resurrection and life are not the same thing, resurrection has to do with the body, life with the spirit (John 17:3). All men will ultimately receive res­ urrection through Jesus (1 Cor. 15:22; John 5:28, 29), but only those who believe on Him shall receive life in its truest and highest sense (John 3:36). After uttering His wondrous words, Jesus put to Martha the searching question, “ Believest thou this?” And just so today concerning every wondrous promise that Jesus uttered and which we read in the Bible, He is asking us, “ Believest thou this?” And Martha answered, “Yes, Lord.” Can you answer in the same way? Nor did Martha stop even then, with burning heart and lips she continued, “ I have believed that thou are the Christ, the Son o f God.” Do you also really believe that? It is all important that you should (John 20:31; 1 John 5:1, 5).
