Can anyone tell me if there is a difference in meaning between a house and a home? A house is a structure, while a home is or ought to be a place of peace and rest. Therefore, you may have a mortgage on a house or rent a house, apartment, or trailer house; they all could be home if Christ is the centerpiece. If you recall, Jesus had no house, tent, or dwelling for the last three to three and one-half years of His ministry. Jesus had close friends who provided Him a place To rest and find understanding and peace during His ministry's good and rough portions. We meet this family again in John 11. There were two sisters, Martha and Mary, and their brother, Lazarus. In this beautiful narrative, we find out that Lazarus is ill with a terminal illness.  Lazarus' two sisters sent word to Jesus that His friend was sick. This is a story of love and grace and great theology that has application to us today. Let's dive into this passage and see God's great truths today.
