In this powerful exploration of grief and loss, Tony Schering dives deep into the story of Lazarus from John 11. This narrative serves as a profound reminder that even in our darkest moments, hope and life await us. We journey through the stages of sickness, loss, and grief, witnessing how Jesus responds to each with compassion and purpose. The contrasting responses of Martha and Mary to their brother's death highlight different ways we might approach God in our pain - through questioning or through raw emotion. Both are met with Jesus' empathy and ultimate power over death. This message challenges us to fall at Jesus' feet in our suffering, just as Mary did, knowing that He weeps with us and understands our pain intimately. We're reminded that our stories don't end in death, but in the life that Jesus promises. As we navigate our own wilderness experiences, we're encouraged to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, knowing that He is working all things for our sanctification and His glory.
