Martha
—“lady”; “hostess”; “lady of the house”
The Martha in the Bible and Mrs Martha Lofton had lots of characteristics in common:
-practical, active
-received people in their homes
-had faith
She was practical, she was a woman of sense; she was very active-—
TOP 10
1-she loved Jesus and lived her life for His glory
2-card writer
3-prayer warrior
4-she loved people- she wanted you to know that you are loved
5-she was your cheerleader
6-she loved the church family
7-she was acquainted with grief and hurt.
8-she was committed
9-she was unselfish
10-she wanted you to feel like your were the only person in the world- you were special.
On Sunday, nearly 2 weeks ago, she sat right there, went to lunch with her family and on Monday she was taken to the hospital.
Now, a little more than a week later, here we are.
Was she planning this?
Was she hoping to get well?
Was she expecting to get out of the hospital and come back home?
When Is a Person Ready to Die?
I think Simeon could tell us about this—Simeon, an aged priest, held Jesus when he was 8 days old.
It was there Jesus was dedicated to the Lord.
Simeon lived in expectation of Jesus, the coming Savior.
It had been revealed to him that he would not die until he had seen the Messiah.
READ Luke 2:25-32
Like Simeon, Mrs Martha was not in fear, was not anxious—
1—She lived a life of Faith
Simeon was noted to be a good man, just and devout.
Mrs Martha was a devoted follower of Jesus.
Being saved by grace, her life spoke loud of her love for Jesus.
Therefore, on Tuesday, she was at total peace!
She was the essence of a godly woman—it is not by accident that her Bible was opened to Proverbs 31 or that you see in your program Provers 31:10-28.
For Mrs Martha, this was not an issue of making it work—she lived a life of faith because her live had been changed by the God of her Faith.
I guess you can say—the PERSON who was in her lived in, through and manifested Himself in her Life
To live with faithfulness, to live with devotion, to live with obedience prepares one to die in Peace!
2—She Completed Her Life’s Work
We really don’t know much about Simeon.
He entered the stage Luke
He exits to be heard of no more—Simeon was one whom we don't know a lot about.
We do know that he served God behind the scenes.
Mrs Martha served God behind the scenes—
How many of you have received a card from her?
How many of your received a call from her?
If you recall when Jesus was on the Cross, He didn’t say, “I Am finished”—but rather He stated, “It is Finished” (John 17:4).
-For Mrs Martha, she is not finished, but God’s work with her here on this earth is finished!
3-She Acknowledged Jesus Christ as Her Savior
Once Simeon saw Jesus, read
—“Mine eyes have seen thy salvation”
He saw Him as Salvation
He saw Him as one Prepared for All people
He saw Him as a light to the Gentiles
He saw Him as the glory of the People of Israel.
He saw Him as the Hope of man
Her hope was not in this world.
She was not ashamed of Jesus Christ
Jesus Changes Everything
Share Jesus
