2 Digest

Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

1. What does this passage show me about God?

   • Why does Jesus delay, what does he tell Martha about himself, and what happens at the tomb?

2. What does it show me about people — and about myself?

   • Jesus asked Martha, 'I am the resurrection and the life… Do you believe this?' What is your honest answer today?

3. What will I obey this week? (a concrete step, with a day)

   • Jesus told the people, 'Take off the grave clothes and let him go.' What 'grave clothes' — old habits, old shame — will you take off this week?

4. Who will I tell?

   • Many who saw what Jesus did believed in him. Who needs to hear that Jesus stands at tombs and calls people out into life?

3 Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).
