“Lazarus, come out.” This was the command that Jesus gave at the tomb of his close friend in John, Chapter 11, verse 43. And, Lazarus – pronounced dead four days earlier – emerges from the tomb alive, still in his burial clothes. It’s a miracle at the behest of Jesus himself, and a foreshadowing of his resurrection.
In this episode of the podcast, Father Mark examines not just what Jesus does but also the way in which he does it, the dialogue that proceeds it, and the way that we, like Lazarus, have choices to make: stay in the darkness of our fears, stresses, and secular choices or embrace the light, love, and hope that is found in Jesus Christ.
