Day 11 of 30 · John 11

Jesus wept.

“Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.”

John 11:25 · World English Bible

Lazarus has been dead four days, and Jesus arrived late on purpose. He tells Martha he is the resurrection and the life — and then, at the tomb, he weeps. Really weeps. Then he calls a dead man out by name. Hold both: he has power over death, and he cries at funerals. Whatever you've lost, he is not indifferent to it.

ONE LINE TO PRAY

Lord, you know what I've lost. Be the resurrection there too.
