Even those of us who seem very active and very alive can be in a kind of anxious survival mode, swimming against the raging current of death's dominion.
At the intersection of our desires and fears, death is a force that invades.
Confronting its power makes even the most robust person feel desperate, and then exhausted, and then hopeless.
Is there any good news for us in the domain of death?
This is one of the questions that's pressing into our hearts and minds as we journey through John's gospel account.
And it's the question that's addressed head on in our passage today in John chapter 11, verses 38 through 44.
Here we are brought to the junction of our greatest desire and our greatest fear, and we discover the one who is greater than anything we could have imagined on our own.
In this discovery, we find salvation for the desperate, relief for the exhausted, and hope for the hopeless.
As we approach God's word together, let's pause and ask for his grace to move through our time.
Heavenly Father, we do thank you for the gift of life and breath today.
And we thank you for the gift of your word.
We bring before you every part of our lived experience here and now.
We bring before you our joys and our sorrows, our anxiety and our excitement.
our calendars and our contingencies, all of these things that are flooding our lives today, we bring them before you.
We ask you to meet us in this space.
Jesus, help us abide in you as we engage with your truth.
Holy Spirit, we ask you to move in and through this time in John's gospel account.
As we read your living word, may it read us and restore us to new, abundant, flourishing life with you.
In Jesus' name, amen.
Our passage today comes in the middle of a dramatic encounter in John.
