Martha

The following is taken from the story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead.

Martha: “Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.”

…

…

Jesus: “Take away the stone.”

Martha: “Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days.”

<paraphrase>

Martha: You are God. You are Lord.

Jesus: Do this.

Martha: <insert excuse>

God, help me.
