FEET OF JESUS
John 11:26-37

The time Martha welcomed Jesus to her house, her sister, Mary, “…Sat at Jesus’ feet and heard His word.”(Luke 10:39) While Martha was doing the serving, Mary remained at the feet of Jesus. Martha’s complaining of not having Mary’s help in serving Jesus, prompted Jesus’ response to Martha, “And Jesus answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. 42 But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.”(Luke 10:41-42) Mary must have discovered a place of security, a place of hope, and a place of undeniable miracles in Jesus when she sat at the feet of Jesus. When Lazarus was dead, when all hope was lost, when there was nowhere to turn for help, Mary knew where to go. When it was most definite that Lazarus was dead, and all of his remains had begun to stink, Mary knew where to connect with Jesus, the Healing healer. When the whole population could not see any chance of bringing Lazarus back to life, Mary knew where to go, and how to settle her self. In the midst of mourning for the death of Lazarus, Mary received a message from Jesus, through Martha. The message that was received by Mary was, “…The Teacher has come and is calling for you.” (John 11:28) The same message is sounding in your direction today if you will answer Him. The calling of the Almighty Teaching Teacher is of hope, deliverance, and of restoration. “As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly and came to Him” (John 11:29) Mary did not hesitate, or doubt, when the message of Jesus’ call got to her. Mary, by virtue of her previous experience at the feet of Jesus, knew exactly where to connect with her miracle. John 11:32-34, “Then, when Mary came where Jesus was, and saw Him, she fell down at His feet, saying to Him, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.” 33 Therefore, when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, He groaned in the spirit and was troubled. 34 And He said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to Him, “Lord, come and see.”” Again, Mary was at the feet of Jesus. It was a place that her miracle could not be denied. It was a place that caught Jesus’ undeniable attention. The same feet of the Lord was where John sought for help when he was afraid, due to lack of understanding, “And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, “Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last.”(Revelation 1:17) At the feet of Jesus there is an answer to all situations.
Prayer for today: Lord, cast Your look on me and lay Your hand on me while I am at your feet. I ask for deliverance and restoration.
