the resurrection of Lazarus was intended to provide the Jews with definitive proof that Jesus was the Christ of God, the promised Messiah. In the previous chapter the Jews had told him: "If you are the Christ, tell us openly", to which Jesus answered by appealing to his works: "the works that I do in my Father's name, they give testimony of me" ( Jn 10: 24-25). And in this passage we will see that just three kilometers from Jerusalem, and in the presence of numerous witnesses, Jesus resurrected Lazarus, a man who had been dead for four days. From there, the Jews could not say that they lacked evidence that Jesus was the Christ.
Of course, it would have been easier to answer that question if Jesus had already resurrected his brother Lazarus, but once again, faith must precede the miracle. For her part, Marta confessed her faith in Christ and accepted that he had the keys of death and the grave.
Marta's statement contains several essential points of the Christian faith:
That Jesus was the Christ, the Anointed, the Messiah. That he was the Son of God. That he was the promised Redeemer who had come into the world. Thanks for sharing
