NOT JUST ANOTHER LAZARUS Leading up to Passover,Lazarus was brought back to life,To a mortal life,To be wondered at or plotted against,But, sooner or later, to die again. But then, Flowing on, at Easter,Jesus was brought back to Life,To immortal Life,To be wondered at……..But different: The same One in another way. Chosen witnesses were visited And helped…
We don’t know what to do with it. Somehow it gets lost between the solemn exhaustion of Good Friday and the excitement of the Easter Vigil. Yet it is not an interlude between acts while the scenery changes behind the curtain. Neither is it a time when God continues to work in some other realm…
