Life versus Death
This week’s passage is short, but it packs a punch. It’s an epic showdown between life and death; between Jesus’ deep compassion and the uncaring, unrelenting force of death. It’s one of three ‘resurrection miracles’ that point us to the greater showdown of the cross. And it’s another incredible account of struggling, nameless people having their lives transformed by Christ. So, once again (this year), we’re humbled by the impact of death’s shadow in our lives, but we’re also exalted by Jesus’ power to reverse it. So, which side of this showdown are we on?
