Some close friends of Jesus lost their brother, Lazarus, who had died. By the time Jesus got to them, Lazarus had been in the tomb for four days. Martha went out to meet Jesus, and she was confident that if Jesus had been there, Lazarus could have been healed, but now it seemed to late. Jesus reassures us all that He is the resurrection and the life. This Sunday we get to dig into this passage and see that in the midst of our own sorrow and uncertainty, Jesus can bring our future hopes into present reality.
