To say that we are all sisters and brothers in Christ is easy enough to do. To claim that we are each created in God's image as precious and beloved children takes us a step closer to our heavenly roots. To all the Spirit to be reflected in us so that we bear a family resemblance to the one whom we proclaim as heavenly father and mother, and to the one whose name we bear, is to seek transformation. Not only is it possible, but it is promised. And that glorious fact is what makes this family reunion different.
Family reunions tend to find their orientation in the past and their focus on the way things are.
This family reunion is oriented to the future. The focus needs to be on the way things are to be. This power enables us to be changed and empowered to make the world a different place. A more mature perspective on this verse would likely keep it on the list of favorities. Jesus is affected by the frief of those who mourned Lazarus' death.
