From the Pastor’s Corner

40 Days

of

Lent For each day of

Lent, tear off a

tab and take

action. These

are deeds that

can be woven

into our day and

bring us

closer to God.

Here is

week 5!

CYCLE A 5th Sunday of Lent

T he 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 Martha, "Yes, Lord, I have come to believe."
