March 26, 2023: Fifth Sunday of Lent

Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead, a sign of how we all experience Resurrection, not just at the End of Time, but even now.

God calls us from death to new life, leaving parts of us in the grave that don't lead us closer to God.  And we take on new perspectives about ourselves, living fully alive as God intended for us, just as He said the people of Israel would rise from the graves of exile to a new existence as His people.  And it is all sustained by the life-giving Spirit of God.

So even if we die physically, we are alive by faith, through the working of the Holy Spirit in us.  Indeed, we can live with new purpose now, because Christ has power over death, and He works this Resurrection power in us now.
