John 11:1-45: Today’s reading invites honest reflection on suffering and mortality. In Lent, we remember Jesus’ death not for its darkness but for the deeper life it reveals. The story of Lazarus shows both human limitation and God’s glory. Martha and Mary grieve, and Jesus enters their sorrow, weeping with them. Unlike we who stand outside the tomb, Jesus steps into the place everyone fears. God’s glory is revealed precisely where we feel powerless. Jesus calls Lazarus and us out of our tombs, showing that resurrection is not only a future hope but a present reality.
