 WELCOME! The last few weeks of our Lenten Sundays we have had rather lengthy Gospel readings from St. John’s Gospel. These serve to focus our attention on Jesus and His identity as the Christ of God, the Messiah. He is the Life and the Truth and the Light of the world. Today we see a miracle of astounding proportions in the raising of Jesus’ friend Lazarus from the clutches of death. But this miracle of life over death points us to the greater and ultimate miracle of Jesus Resurrection and the death of death therein. Jesus, comforting the grieving Martha, tells her, "Your brother will rise again." to which she answers, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day." Jesus says to her and to all, "I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die." This is the resurrection life you are baptized into! Praise God! Christ is working at Christ the King. Come Join us! TAGS: Service Announcements
