Healing Community -- John 11, the story of the raising of Lazarus (Fifth Sunday in Lent)

The story of Lazarus is a story about the healing presence of Christ embodied in community. In a world full of fear, illness, and death, Jesus stands in the midst of a grieving community, and together they stand against death and everything that does us harm.  In Christ's love, we call each other into life – Christ’s healing touch in our hands.
