Yes, Lord, I believe

 "And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?” She said to Him, “Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.” (John 11:26, 27)

Blessed are those who can give Martha's answer to this question of Jesus. Jesus did not ask Martha, "Do you understand this?" He said, "Do you believe this?" Because faith is important. We can gain understanding by believing, but we can’t get faith by understanding.

We have countless reasons to believe in Jesus' power, works, promises, mercy and love, and we have no reason not to believe His Word.
