Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.
This is an example of the peace that Jesus brings. This past Sunday we lit the candle of peace in our Advent wreath. And in worship we talked about how the peace that Jesus brings us to us can also be referred to as peace of mind, or comfort. Jesus, before he does anything else in this passage, spends time with Mary and Martha, comforting them in their time of need. Jesus makes them feel better about the situation. Then Jesus goes even further than that in bringing their beloved brother back to life. Jesus makes us feel better. No matter what we are going through Jesus is there to lift us up. Just as Jesus offered comfort to Mary and Martha, he offers comfort to us as well. God bless you.
