The Newness of Life
Jesus loved Martha, Mary, and Lazarus; they all needed an encounter and an encounter from the Lord. Only Mary had an encounter with Jesus Martha did not. Martha was a Christian, but she was an unbeliever. Martha was facing the resurrection of condemnation, and Jesus wanted Martha to believe in the resurrection and the life. Martha spoke to Jesus in the flesh out of anger, malice, and blasphemy. God was trying to get Martha to believe. We will miss Christ if we only know Him as the resurrection. Now when Mary spoke to Jesus, she had said the same things like Martha, but she said it and reverenced the Lord. Mary believed in Jesus as the resurrection and the life.
A newness of life is the next thing after resurrection. We should be identified, and others should know we have died and have been resurrected. Believers live a new life; they are not the same as Christians because sinners say they are Christians. We have to allow the Lord to undress and then dress us. We should not have on the same garments we had when we were resurrected. It takes us looking at ourselves and no longer being comfortable with the garments of lying, lusting, darkness, etc. Being undressed and dressed takes time, and we cannot walk in the newness of life as the old man in our old garments, ways, and thoughts.
We should no longer be slaves to sin. The new man should not have to fight and know what the old man dealt with. Jesus died to sin for all. The word of God can take away our sin. The word of God is powerful, and the truth is that believers have already died to sin because they have participated in Jesus' death. It takes long-suffering to reign with Christ. We must be righteous because righteousness takes us to the Father, and sin shall not have dominion over us. Jesus is everything we need.
