Bible Stories Lazarus, Martha & Mary

Now Martha and Mary invited Jesus into their home. He became their friend and Savoir.
With two very different personalities these Bible women are a great example to many women today.

Martha was a doer and Mary a listener. Mary was willing to sit at her teachers feet learning while Martha ran around trying to prepare the meal. Martha asked Jesus to tell Mary to help her.

Luke 10: 41-42 (KJV)

41.) And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:

42.) But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

I find that I can relate to both of these women. Sometimes I run around stressing out and other times I am willing to be still and listen.

Now when Jesus heard that Lazarus was dying he tarried for four days. When he finally arrived Lazarus had been dead for four days. When he saw Mary’s grief he mourned with her. Jesus wept, seeing her pain moved him to tears even though he knew he would raise Lazarus from the dead.

He loves us so much that he hurts when we hurt, there are many examples of Gods love and compassion for men and women throughout the Old and New Testaments of the Bible.
