Easter
The Cross
Friday was the day of the cross. We call it Good Friday. But from Mary’s viewpoint, “good” was not the word she would use.
Four Days Dead
Lazarus was four days dead. When Jesus said, “Lazarus, come out,” the dead man responded. Lazarus stood up and shuffled out of the tomb. His resurrected body still showed signs of death—strips of linen wrapped around his body and a burial cloth around his face.
Come Out!
Come out! Those are the words Jesus spoke to a man who was dead. Here’s the account in John 11:43.
Disappointment. Anger. Confusion.
Hurt. Disappointment. Anger. Confusion. Fear. Mary was probably feeling all those emotions following the death of her brother Lazarus. She made her way to Jesus, fell at his feet, and let him know exactly what was on her mind. “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died” (John 11:32). Those words were spoken with tears running down her cheeks and between the loud sobs of grief.
Never Die
Jesus has made a way to escape death, to never die. He first gave that promise to a woman grieving the loss of her brother. Today we begin following Jesus to the cross. As Jesus entered the Jerusalem area for the last time, he performed a significant miracle just outside of town. This miracle centered around a man named Lazarus—who was dead and buried. Let’s consider Jesus’ words to Martha, one of the dead man’s sisters.
Problems with the Plan
Sometimes we have problems with the plan—God’s plan. We misunderstand what he is up to. That’s what happened to the disciples.
