Assurance of Victory over Death Lesson Text: John 11:17-32 introduction noted last week that Mary and Martha had so much confidence in Jesus (who He was and what He could do) that they did not make any specific request of Him when they sent word that Lazarus was sick. In fact, they did not even name him, saying only that “he whom thou lovest is sick” (John 11:3). They did not even say it was their brother who was sick because they knew Jesus would know and understand what was happening. They made no suggestion whatsoever about what He should do. The sisters showed great faith in Jesus by simply leaving the entire situation up to Him. All they did was give Him the facts without asking for anything. Their attitudes and actions concerning what they were facing are an example of the way to handle the difficult things we ourselves face.
