John 12:2
“So they made him a supper there. Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with him.”
What does John 12:2 mean?
A dinner is being held in Bethany to honor Jesus, just days before his crucifixion. This simple scene captures something profound: Lazarus, whom Jesus had raised from the dead only recently, is now alive and present at the table. Martha does what she does best, staying busy with service, while Lazarus simply exists in the company of the one who gave him back his life. The contrast is gentle but meaningful—one person shows love through action, the other through presence, and both matter. It's a quiet moment of restoration and gratitude.
