Today’s Gospel (John 11:1-45) is the account of Jesus raising His friend Lazarus from death. Martha and Mary (the one who anointed Jesus with perfumed oil and died His feet with her hair) sent word to Jesus that Lazarus was ill. Word soon followed that Lazarus had died. On the way to Bethany, the village where Lazarus was, Jesus told Martha “I am the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in Me, even if he dies, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in Me, will never die”. Then Jesus directly asked Martha … and us “Do you believe this?”
When Jesus got to Bethany, He was met by Mary and others who were weeping. It’s here, at this moment of the Gospel, that we hear three words that are profound, dramatic, enlightening, tender, awe-inspiring, and insightful. These are three of the most important words ever written. The Three words … “And Jesus wept”.
Jesus, fully Divine and fully human, wept! Oh, how He loves us.
Jesus raised Lazarus. Many began to believe in Jesus. We believe!
