Readings: Ezekiel 37: 12-14; Romans 8: 8-11; John 11: 1-45
Text: And when Jesus had said this, he cried out in a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!" (John 11: 43)
Meditation: The drama of raising Lazarus from the dead confronts us anew of the same question asked of Marta and Mary… "I am the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?"
We need to hear the call of Jesus, the Lord, anew and come out from the tomb of fear, unbelief, powerlessness and isolation. Let us all come out from the tomb of impotence that is ourselves.
Now that the hole world is threatened by contagion of Corona Virus – 19, we need make that profession of faith. And by professing Jesus is the Life and Resurrection would mean, in the concrete, caring for each other and the whole creation else we all perish!
