“Martha said to Jesus ‘Lord if you had been here, my brother would not have died. But even now, I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you’…Jesus told her ‘I am the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live, and anyone who lives and believes in me will never die.” John 11:21,25-26. St. Augustine said, “Let them who are alive still live; and let them who are dead, whosoever they be, … see to it that they rise again at once… when Lazarus had been raised again … no foul smell remained.”

Let us pray, Lord Jesus, we live in You and You in us, closer than our own breath. Grant us the gift of deeper faith today, that we may live this truth. The One who is the resurrection lives within us – may our lives proclaim Your healing love; may we be Christ-bearers to the world. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
