Fifth Sunday in Lent

As Lent deepens, Jesus stands before the tomb of His friend. He weeps, not because He lacks hope, but because death is an enemy. And then He commands the grave to release its captive. Lazarus walks out, still wrapped in burial cloths, because Life Himself has spoken.

This sign prepares us for what is coming. Christ does not avoid death. He confronts it. Lent teaches us to face mortality honestly, without despair, because the One who raises the dead walks with us.

I am the Resurrection and the Life.

Even now, Christ calls His people from death to life.
