Note 5 at Joh 11:5: It is interesting to note that special mention is made of Jesus loving Martha. This was after the incident recorded in Lu 10:38-42 where Martha got caught up with serving instead of worshiping, and Martha's priorities were still not straightened out (Joh 12:2). In Lu 10:41-42, Jesus was not rebuking Martha but rather exhorting her for her own profit. When the Lord deals with problem areas of our lives, it is always for our profit--not punishment (Heb 12:9-11)--and should not be taken as rejection. This is one way to discern God's correction from the devil's condemnation.
