Mary's Search for Jesus

Text: John 11: 30-31

MARY’S SEARCH FOR JESUS

Mary must have been informed that Jesus had not yet reached her home yet. She did not wait for Him to come. She would go and seek Him.

“Now Jesus had not yet come into the town, but was in the place where Martha met Him. Then the Jews who were with her in the house, and comforting her, when they saw that Mary rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying, ‘She is going to the tomb to weep there.’”

John 11:30-31

c. “Comforting her”

d. These were genuinely concerned for their friends Mary and Martha.
Perhaps their presence might give her some measure of comfort.
