"A Communal Unwrapping" by Pam Lee-Miller

One of the most remarkable stories in the Bible is about a close friend of Jesus who had become ill and died. Jesus receives word of his friend's illness but lingers before going to check on him. When he finally arrives, his friend had been dead for several days. Then, in an act of compassion and community, Jesus commands those close by to remove the barriers that would hold a live man where a dead one should be. With the gravestone removed and the graveclothes loosed, Lazarus was now free to live again. It was an act of liberation and an act of coming together as community.
