John 11:1-53

5th Sunday in Lent

Life, Death
in the span of things
they are all part of the one
all part of who we are
Life limited to the here and now
Death, beyond that
and loving yet
by a God who loves on this side of the grave
and beyond
Come out Lazarus
Come out that the world me see
not so much one risen
but the one for whom
rising and living and dying
are all part of love
May the love of Christ
be with you now and forever more
Amen!
