John 11:29
8/24/2026
When Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to Him.
It seems that Mary was “sitting shiva”, an official Jewish custom of waiting for seven days at home among loved ones while the impact of a loved one’s death is absorbed. It is a kind of waiting for comfort. But Mary rises and hurries when she hears the Comforter has come. She brings the same gentle rebuke to Jesus that her sister had given, but He does not answer her. He simply asks where the body was laid and joins in the mourning of the people. Jesus has in store for Mary, Martha and us a most remarkable miracle. But He does not brush off grief as irrelevant because He knows what He is going to do. He weeps with them and then He calls Lazarus forth from the tomb. Our God and comforter is Jesus.
