John 11:29 " As soon as she heard that she arose quickly, and came unto Him".
We are called to lead lost souls to Christ. We must lift Him high enough that those following us will see Jesus and not us. We have to be careful not to allow our stuff to get in the way with someone's chance to meet Jesus. Jesus is calling let, us lead the lost to Christ.
In our text today we have Mary, the sister of Lazarus who is dead. Martha had just receive a revelation from Jesus as to who He is, and she runs to share the news with her sister. When we come to know Jesus for ourselves we too should run tell someone, starting with our household. Now when she tells Mary the master is come and He calls for her, Mary immediately rises and runs to Him. We should all run to the Lord when He calls for us. He is calling for many still this day through the truth of His gospel. We are the voice to share that gospel truth, we are chosen to tell the lost that the master is come and He is calling for them. Now when Mary came running to Jesus, many of the others in the house followed her. There are many who are following us in our journey to Jesus. You might not see them or even know them, but someone is following you to Christ.
Now when Mary got to Christ she fell at His feet in humble worship, all who were following her seen Jesus and not her, for she humbled herself . When we lead others to Christ we need to get out of the way that they might see Jesus. It is not about the church, denomination, Pastor or even the ministry, if they don't find Christ and enter into the true ark of safety, the church or denomination they join won't really matter.
