Summary: Knowing the Lord is closely associated with being strong in life. Beginning from Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, Joshua and till the disciples of Jesus Christ, are known for being bold and strong in times of trouble.
Whether you live today as a victim or warrior, God is beside you to give you assurance for a bright future, if you are willing. The future brightness comes with one condition, that you know the Lord as it should be. Believers as much as they the rites and participation routine of their denomination, are not familiar with the Lord who sacrificed his life. They have faith in their man-made organizations than in the relationship of Lord Jesus.
The assurance Jesus gave to Marry and Martha, he is looking into your life, and saying the same, "...if you would believe you would see the glory of God..." Here Jesus is talking about an impossible event that's about to happen. Nobody in the history of mankind has ever experienced so far. Jesus is about to resurrect a man (Lazarus) from death, in the sight of everyone.
Mary and Martha believed in the resurrection, they believed in Jesus, that he can do anything. The knowledge of the Lord Jesus, created a strong faith in them, that they believed in the resurrection after death firmly. Seeing their faith Jesus brought Lazarus from the tomb and helped them to experience divine glory.
