Like Martha we sometimes ask a variation of the question “Jesus, where were you when _________ happened?” Like Martha we all have a Lazarus. A Lazarus can be anything in our life that we really love or hold onto that we desperately need Jesus to bring to life. In our text today, Jesus gives us a picture of who He is in the middle of our disappointment and what he does through the thing that we thought was long gone and without hope. As we will read in the text, Jesus goes into the ring with death and because of that, resurrection is not just a past or a future hope but it’s a present reality. Today Jesus can bring hope in the hurt.
