"BOTH"
[17] Jesus arrived in Bethany. There he learned that Lazarus had already been dead and in the tomb for four days. [18] Bethany was about two miles from Jerusalem. [19] Many Jews had come there to comfort Martha and Mary about their brother. [20] Martha heard that Jesus was coming, and she went out to meet him. But Mary stayed at home.
John 11:17-20 lCB
Many Jews had come to comfort Martha AND Mary.... Because they were BOTH hurting, they were BOTH grieving in their own way.
In the midst of losing their brother, Martha had the strength to go out and meet with Jesus, while Mary just wanted to stay home.
Whose to say that either choice was wrong?
Martha met with Jesus, but Mary stayed home....
There will be times when you don't have the strength to meet with Jesus, when you don't have the strength to pray. Your spirit is willing, but your body (flesh) is weak.
Matt 26:41
That's why the bible tells us to PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER....There will be times when you need somebody interceding for you, when you need somebody praying for you.
There will be times when you are so hurt, so grieved that the only way you will experience some form of healing is through somebody else's prayer.
Confess and acknowledge how you have offended one another and then pray for one another to be instantly healed, for tremendous power is released through the passionate, heartfelt prayer of a godly believer!
James 5:16 TPT
God designed us to need EACH OTHER because at any given time, I could be Martha and you could be Mary or we BOTH could be going through something at the same time.
Therefore, Who are we to judge "the way" any of us are handling this life? Let's just confess, acknowledge how we have offended one another (COME CLEAN) and pray.
Let's just pray for each other.
Until Next Sunday.
