Is your faith Martha Strong?

"Yes, Lord," she told him, "I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world."  And after she had said this, she went back and called her sister Mary aside. "The Teacher is here," she said, "and is asking for you."
John 11:27-28
 

Martha had a robust faith.  In this short quote we find her hailing Jesus as: Messiah, Son of God, and The Teacher.  She had heard Jesus and seen the miracles, but she also made the connection with numerous OT prophecies.  This depth of spirituality should not be taken for granted.  Are we cultivating (or allowing the Spirit to cultivate in us) a similar depth of spirituality?
