LENT AS WEEPING TOGETHER | JOHN 11:38-44

The raising of Lazarus is a famous scene in the life of Jesus, foreshadowing the Easter themes of new life and new creation. So what’s it doing in the middle of Lent? John positions this story in his narrative right as Jesus undertakes his final journey towards Jerusalem, preparing for his own death. Might this be part of why Jesus, surprisingly, stays put when he first hears the news of Lazarus’s death rather than hurrying out to heal him?

In this episode, Prof. Wright probes between the lines of John 11 to offer a reading of Jesus’s actions, revealing a Jesus who not only transformed moments of great sorrow into glory but does so still by meeting us in our places of pain to weep with us. 

PEOPLE OF PROMISE

People of Promise is a new weekly devotional series reflecting on the rhythms of traditional seasons in the Church year. 

People of Promise: Reflecting the Rhythms of Lent presents passages from Scripture to illuminate the themes of Lent and provide encouragement for your spiritual walk. Prof. Wright invites viewers to follow Jesus in the way of the cross, sustained by the scriptures, as we look towards the purposes of God. 

People of Promise video devotionals arrive every Monday through the liturgical seasons of Lent, Eastertide, and Advent. Make sure you like the video and subscribe to our channel, so you never miss a single one.
