Doing Your Faith

Mary, Martha and Lazarus throw a party for Jesus. Each has a role to play either during or after this dinner. Martha served, Mary worshiped and Lazarus shared how Jesus raised him from the dead. Each had a different but equally vital role. There were others at the meal, including the disciples. Judas would have been present. Which of these people do you identify with? Mary, who worshiped Jesus and spent prolonged periods of time in his presence always listening to the Master? Martha who was an excellent servant, always behind the scenes making sure all the fine details are taken care of? Maybe you relate to Lazarus who saw God to powerful work in his life and he loved to tell others about being called to life from the grave. We need the Mary’s, Martha’s and Lazarus’s in the local church. Different functions but all essential. Be careful that you don’t become a Judas, one who looks spiritual, talks spiritual but Jesus hasn’t transformed your heart. This message will encourage you to be the person God has created you to be through faith in Christ and to live authentically, passionately and sacrificially for Jesus.
