Subject: WHY WAS JESUS |
Bible Note: Hi There, "That you may believe" is the reason for His delay and it was also the reason that He prayed aloud to the Father in verse 42. "I knew that You always hear Me; but because of the people standing around I said it, so that they may believe that You sent Me.*" "...and I* am glad for your sakes that I was not there". He wasn't glad for the sakes of Mary and Martha but for the disciples sakes, that they might believe. Martha believed didn't she; verse 21, "Lord, if You* had been here, my brother would not have died." Jesus believed;verse 25, "Jesus said to her, 'I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me* will live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this? Mary believed; verse 32, "Lord, if You* had been here, my brother would not have died. Both Martha and Mary believed in the Teacher* of verse 28. They believed as some of them said in verse 37, "Could not this (Man), who opened the eyes of the blind man, have kept this man also from dying?" The chief priests and the Pharisees were afraid that everyone would believe in Him* and they would lose their power. ***A comparison of verse 26 and verse 50 is worthwhile if you believe in the Man, Jesus. Do you believe this? This Man is performing many signs; verse 52, "and not for the nation only, but in order that He might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad." |
