The sun was beginning to peek above the hills early that Sunday morning as Mary Magdalene and a few others walked to the tomb. There must have been so many things on their minds that day...
...Many fell away when Jesus was persecuted and killed by His adversaries. For some it had become too difficult to follow Him in the end, but not Mary Magdalene. No, she would remain loyal to the One who had changed her life, Her Savior, Her Jesus.
How did they respond when He didn’t come to heal their brother Lazarus right after they sent word? Did they lose faith in the friend they knew was the Healer when He didn’t come right away? Or did they trust that maybe He would heal Lazarus from a distance as He had with others?
However, bad things DO happen to good people. Sometimes God doesn’t answer our prayers the way we expect during times of trouble.
