John 11:1-53

5^th 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!
