John11:23

23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again .

Christ takes no notice of Martha's failings before mentioned, (He can have compassion upon his peoples Infirmities) but applieth himself to the relief of her under her affliction. He doth not tell her, that her Brother should be raised to Life presently, nor that he would do it; but onely saith, He shall rise again: To let us know, that a belief of the general Resurrection is enough, and ought to be improved by us, to curb our immoderate mourning and Passions for those of our Friends who are dead in the Lord.
