Fifth Sunday of Lent - Will you roll away the stone?

Fifth Sunday of Lent

March 21 & 22

In today’s Gospel we read about the miracle of raising Lazarus from the dead.  One of the most important lessons learned is that it is never too late for God to revive and revitalize a person.  Jesus said, “I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.”  Are we ready to roll away the stone that blocks us from our contact with our Lord and Savior?  Are we ready to believe in the miracle and to unbind one another from the ties of sin?  Jesus said, “He who lives and believes in me will never die.”  Jesus will never give up on us.  During these last days of Lent, let us ask God to forgive us for our sins and bring us back to life with him.            – Deacon Jim
