Redeeming The Time

We experience a great mystery today, in the resurrection of Lazarus, the four days dead, of death and resurrection, and in a practical sense, more powerful than Pascha. Looking at this story closely teaches us about the humanity and divinity of Christ, and teaches us about how to be truly human. This is a great mystery. We choose a few phrases and meditate upon them: "He abode two days still in the same place where he was," "Our friend Lazarus sleepeth," "Let us also go, that we may die with him," "Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died," "Jesus wept," (we must know WHY He wept), and the very important phrase which we MUST understand: "Jesus therefore again groaning in himself." Unless you groan within, you will never understand death or the resurrection. Luke 11
