John 11:25-27
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” She said to him, “Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one coming into the world.”
Martha
The practical woman
The one who majored in hospitality
Patron saint of servants and cooks
A noble distinction
But also a woman
whose profession of faith
was unswerving
absolute
A woman
who looked into the abyss of death
and yet could proclaim
You are the Messiah
An attribute
conveniently overlooked
by the patriarchy
when her story
became history
Let’s re-member Martha
the multi tasking domestic goddess
and the faith filled
proclaimer of truth
This is what Biblical Womanhood looks like!
