I’m reading John 11:38-44 today. This is when Jesus raises Lazarus. What a miracle! But I seem to have gotten stuck around verse 42 or just before. Jesus says, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. I knew that you always hear me…” This got me at first, I was almost angry reading... Continue Reading →
Day 3 of my lenten journey
Today I’m reading John 11:28-37. I’ve read this passage many times and I’ve heard others read and preach on it many times as well. I’m pretty sure I’ve even written a devotional on it. That being said, I have several thoughts on this and I’m not sure how to best share them. Let’s go... Continue Reading →
Day 2
So, today, I’m looking at John 11:17-27. Jesus goes to the family and friends of Lazarus. Martha goes out to meet Jesus and they have a meaningful conversation in which we can see Martha’s great faith in Jesus. In who he is and what God could/would do through him. Jesus says, “I am the resurrection... Continue Reading →

I’m a work in progress…
