Canticle Jer 31:10-13, Ezekiel 37:21-28 John 11:45-56,

A choice to make

Life and death, faith and fear, hope and dread all swirl together at the conclusion of the account of Lazarus’ death and return to life. Many of the Jews who witness the man’s amazing resurrection put their faith in Jesus. They have seen the glory of God with their own eyes. Certain others see the same thing but respond by going, presumably in disbelief, to tell the Pharisees what Jesus has done. Why such a difference in response? Jesus always offers us a choice – where will we turn, how will we respond? What does your heart choose today?
