In the walk to Emmaus story, we recognize the promise that Jesus is with us on our own journeys through life, coming to meet us especially when we are grieving or overwhelmed. The sacraments of baptism and holy communion offer us a tangible reminder of God's promise as Jesus promises to be present through the ordinary elements of bread, wine, and water. And of course, we encounter the risen Jesus in his body, the Church.

On the evening of that first Easter Sunday, Jesus appeared to his disciples, despite the fact that they were hiding in a locked room. We are called to unlock the doors and step out in faith to proclaim the good news of the resurrection.

Today's sermon looks at two stories of resurrection. No, we’re not to Easter quite yet, but both Ezekiel’s vision of a valley of dry bones and Jesus’ miraculous raising of Lazarus give us a sort of sneak peek of what’s coming.

This week’s question, “Can these bones live?” comes from the prophet Ezekiel’s vision of a field of death, and asks whether God can work even when it seems life and hope are gone. In the Gospel reading from John 11, Jesus demonstrates that even death doesn’t end God’s work by calling Lazarus out from the tomb and restoring him to life. And of course, in a few weeks, we’ll see the ultimate proof of God’s power over death as Jesus himself is raised from the dead on Easter morning.

Today's Scripture readings are Ezekiel 37:1-14 and John 11:1-45. Sermon by Pastor Daniel Flucke.
