Lenten Reflection - March 17, 2013 The Fifth Sunday of Lent

I am the resurrection and the life.
John 11:17-44


This scripture actually starts with "Jesus said to her"; I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whomever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?

When I try and put myself in Martha's place, I am able to imagine her grief and her belief that she would see her brother again at the day of resurrection. But Martha got more than that—Jesus made her a witness to the resurrection of her brother. Just imagine her sense of awe when Jesus resurrected Lazarus, in her time! What a powerful miracle she witnessed!! Life changing Faith in Jesus is life giving, it fills your heart with JOY, LOVE and SECURITY. The knowledge, the belief in Jesus' love sustains us all.
