the living testimony of the resurrection life. He did not testify by doing but by living in the res urrection life. His testimony was not in labor or in works; it was in the enjoyment of the resur rection life. He was a witness to the power of the Lord's resurrection life. Wherever he was, the testimony of resurrection life was there.
Martha's service was good, but it did not attract people. It was the testimony of Lazarus that attracted them. This does not mean that Martha's service was not good and was not needed, for certain things had to be taken care of. Even Lazarus had to be served by Martha. Therefore, we must realize that even when we have a good testimony of life, we still need the service of Martha.
The testimony of life is not by doing but by living. It is not a kind of work; it is a kind of life. It is not by laboring; it is by enjoying the Lord. It gives people the feeling of resurrection power, the manifestation of resurrection life, and the enjoy ment of the Lord as life. This is a strong testi mony that the Lord can make a dead person so living and enable him to feast with Him. In the church there must be such a living testimony, such a function of life. Martha's service is necessary, but Lazarus' ministry is even more necessary.
