5th Sunday of Lent
"The dead man came out, tied hand and foot with burial bands, and
his face was wrapped in a cloth." His heart had started to beat again,
breaking the somber silence of the tomb. His lungs were breathing
the air once more. The blood had begun to flow through his veins for
the first time in four days. Lazarus rose from the grave, a living
paradox: literally a dead man walking. Having done nothing by his
own power, he once again knew life: a new life. This resurrection at
the hands of Christ was an undeniable testimony to a power even
greater than death.
For all our technological prowess and all our medical expertise,
humanity has yet to pull off a stunt like this. Near death experiences
we've heard plenty about. But four days gone? Even his sisters didn't
want to approach their brother in a state like that, "Lord, by now
there will be a stench." But Jesus wasn't concerned. Can you hear
him yelling, "Lazarus, come out!" Can you see the deceased man
emerging from the tomb? What a sight! What a miracle! What a God.
Nothing is beyond the reach of our God. Nothing can trump his
power, not even death itself. This was confirmed for us on the first
Easter Sunday when, unlike Lazarus, Jesus rose by his own power.
And now, he wants to bless us with this same power! "I am the
resurrection and the life," he told Martha. "Whoever believes in me,
even if he dies, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me
will never die." Then, he asked her a question that applies to us as
well: "Do you believe this?" As we continue our journey towards the
great triumph of Easter, may we have the faith to answer with
