Jesus Grieves with Us
Mar 22, 2026 • The Rev. Dr. Sandi Kerner
The raising of Lazarus, the last of the seven signs in John's Gospel, points beyond itself to Jesus, the resurrection and the life. Dr. Kerner dwells on Martha's protest and Mary's grief, and on Jesus' fierce anger at death and his tears beside the sisters, insisting that God does not take our loved ones but rescues us from death. A stained-glass window of Lazarus unbound invites hearers to ask what grave clothes Christ is loosening now.
