In the raising of Lazarus, Jesus makes a declarative statement: “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes (lives in trusting obedience) in me will live, even though they die,” (11:25- 26). Jesus is in the transformation business; He offers new life. Do we really believe this radical claim? If so, we will “faith in Him” enough to dare to take off the graves clothes of death this week.
