John 11:28

John 11:28 says, And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.  It says she went to Mary secretly and told her the Master was come and was calling for her.  We don't need to go in secret, but we need to into the lost world with that message the message that the Master has come and calls for them.   Verse twenty-nine adds, As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him.  Mary, when she heard that Jesus was come, arose quickly and came to Him.  When we witness, that should be the desired outcome, that whoever we are witnessing to will arise and come to Jesus quickly.    Verse thirty continues, Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him. The rest of the people did not know that Jesus was there.  Verse thirty-one states, The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep there. When Mary left to go to Jesus, the Jews there followed her. They thought she was going to the grave. Sometimes, as Christians, people around us may follow us for the wrong reason, but if they end up in the presence of Christ, then it is a good thing. They had gone to mourn for him, but they were in for a miracle. Verse thirty-two adds, Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. When Mary got to Jesus she fell at His feet and said, "Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died."  She was once again at the feet of Jesus, but this time more in accusation than adoration.  She didn't care who saw her or how it looked to others. Even in her faith, she fell short of believing in the complete power of Jesus.  If we find ourselves in distress today, we need to fall at the feet of Jesus and put our trust in Him.  No matter how bleak the situation may be, there should always be hope and peace when we come to Him.  We also need to put our coming to Christ above everything else.  Both Martha and Mary, in their own way, went to meet Jesus.  We, as His followers, do not have to hunt the Holy Spirit, but we do need to seek His guidance and comfort in all that we do, and we need to let the world know that we look to Him for strength.
