John 11:28 says “The Teacher is here and is calling for you.” This wonderful quote of Martha’s is just after she says to Jesus, “Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God.” She then goes to find her sister, Mary.Is the Teacher calling you?
Are you looking for a connection with God but haven’t found one? Are you seeking to enter into loving intimacy and ever-deepening relationship with God?Perhaps the answer is Diakonia.
