Blinded by Grief (John 11)

from Westlake United Methodist Church · host Westlake United Methodist Church

In this Lenten message from John 11, we enter the story of Lazarus and the raw reality of grief. Rather than rushing past loss, the sermon reflects on how grief can cloud our vision—and how Jesus meets us within it. Holding together the imagery of dry bones in Ezekiel and the tomb in Bethany, this episode considers a different understanding of resurrection: not as escape from suffering, but as the presence of life and breath in the midst of it. The central question remains—when faced with loss, do we believe that Christ is already at work, even here?
