In this episode of Your Week with St. Luke’s, we continue our Lenten series, Crossroads, by exploring John 11 and the powerful story of the raising of Lazarus. Pastor Jad reflects on how the story unfolds less as a miracle tale and more as a series of conversations that reveal who Jesus is, culminating in his declaration, “I am the resurrection and the life.” As Martha, Mary, and their grieving community wrestle with loss and the painful question of why Jesus arrived too late, the story invites us to consider what faith looks like in the midst of grief and uncertainty. Jesus’ tears remind us that God meets us not only in celebration but also in sorrow, and the raising of Lazarus becomes a turning point that reveals both the promise of resurrection life now and the crossroads where belief, doubt, love, and loss intersect.
