Martha believed in the metaphorical futuristic resurrection of Jesus Christ, but Jesus was right there and was talking about what was possible in the immediate. Even when resurrection happens, the possibility of remaining bound by graveclothes can be a factor in the life of the believer.

The one important lesson to learn from the story is obedience and dependency on God to provide our needs even in the shadow when no one knows or care about us. The will of God can never lead us to where the grace of God is not sufficient. God already had the provisions in place before the need arise. I pray that this...2020-01-1123 min

Like every human being John doubted his previously confession of Jesus’ identity because he failed to manage his expectation about the character and the designation of the Messiah.

Pneuma PodcastFather, forgive them. - 24:11:2019, 17.55Based on Luke 23:33- 43 “Father, forgive them” invites listeners of this Podcast to consider the manner that Jesus Christ accomplished his ministry on earth by taking his rightful place as the King of kings whose chief weapon is forgiveness. Jesus Christ approached his humiliation and suffering from a place of understanding that those persecuting him were ignorant. Jesus Christ looked beyond the physical appearance of his persecutors; to be able to forgive we must also look beyond the person. We must therefore endeavour to cultivate the habit of forgiveness because Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour forgave all those who...2019-11-2424 min

In the key text for this podcast are the accounts of those who are powerful and yet powerless and those who are powerless but powerful even without platform to exercise them.
