John 11:1-45 | Any story is like a tapestry, weaving together various threads to paint a picture. As we’ve dwelled in lengthy stories from the Gospel of John this season, we’ve been invited to not only look at these stories from a distance, but to enter into these stories as participants. But none of these stories stand alone. Together, they compile an even larger story so that we might trust God’s love and life for ourselves, and for the sake of the world. So as we look to Holy Week, join us as we reflect on our wilderness sojourn, and as we look in hope for God’s breath of life breaking into our lives and our world.
