Last Words Of Christ: Martha

Video Illustration

Produced by Skit Guys

When her brother Lazarus died, Martha felt as though Jesus had abandoned them. She believed Lazarus was gone forever. However, the words Jesus said from the cross about feeling forsaken by God may have connected with how Martha felt on a deeper level. The reflections from Martha help us consider how we can hope for a different ending in our story, even when we feel forsaken. This video is based on Matthew 27:46 and is part of the Last Words of Christ Easter series, and can also stand alone as a sermon illustration on trusting and waiting on God.

When their brother, Lazarus, was sick, Mary and Martha called for the one person they knew could heal him. But when Jesus didn’t arrive until after Lazarus died, they wavered in their belief. Once Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, the sisters realized that Jesus is the Christ, and whoever believes in Him will live.
