Fifth Sunday in Lent

Today's Gospel seems to touch on a delicate part of humanity which is that when things get bad God seems to abandons us. Instead, Jesus intentionally waits to visit Martha and Mary at the news of Lazarus' sickness and death so that something greater can take place. 

Some of us are not waiting for a miracle...we're hiding in our tombs. Today, Jesus stands before that place in your life and says: "come out." If you bring Jesus your death, He will bring you freedom and the resurrection.
