The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

John 11:20-26, “Martha therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet Him, but Mary stayed at the house.
21 Martha then said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.
22 “Even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You.”
23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
24 Martha said to Him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.”
25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies,
26 and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?”

We are so like Martha. There are things that we know and things that we do not know. Yet, when we know the One who knows all things, it is virtually the same as if we ourselves know.

Life is filled with mysteries! There are things that we do no know because there is no need for us to know them. Why do we encumbrance ourselves with such things? Little children wear us down with questions: “Why?” they ask over and over again.

Job of old asked: “”Will you keep to the ancient path which wicked men have trod, who were snatched away before their time, whose foundations were washed away by a river?” (Job 22:15-16).

“”The righteous see and are glad, and the innocent mock them, saying, ‘Truly our adversaries are cut off, and their abundance the fire has
consumed.’ Yield now and be at peace with Him; thereby good will come to you. (Job 22:19-21).

Heartily in Christ Jesus,

(Dado III)
