Read Today's Passage
I really love this account of Lazarus. Jesus is close enough with the family that they send word for Him to come. And His statement about how the sickness will not end in death is amazing. True, Lazarus did die. But it was not the end. Jesus came even after 4 days and death was not the end. I just love that statement. And It is true, that death does not have to be the end for us either. We can continue living alongside Jesus after death. Our sicknesses do not have to end in death.
And is it not amazing that when we read John's account here we see that the Priests and Pharisees thought that they were going to crucify Jesus to bring the Jewish nation together? It was them trying to do what they thought right... or was it. Did Caiaphas' prophecy merely happen because he wanted to get Jesus out of the picture so HIS will could guide the Jews?
What do you think?

I find again Mary and Martha in the story. Mary is at home and Martha goes out to meet Jesus, yet they both say the same thing to Him. 'If you had been here my brother would not have died.' Two women, two personalities, one desire and one Lord. I can't wait to meet these girls!
