and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?"
These are the words that Jesus spoke to Martha when he arrived at the house of Lazarus. In response, she acknowledged her understanding that Jesus was the Christ, the Son of God.
Today's Comments: Even Jesus' disciples had not realized that He was the Messiah. It would take his crucifixion and then his appearance to them after death to realize who he really was. And, we are not unlike them. We keep asking for signs, and yet there are no signs. There are no signs, not because God has failed to give them. We just fail to recognize them. The signs that he gives us are usually right there, as moments of realization in life, or perhaps a flicker of genius during moments of contemplation. Let us pray for these moments.
