April 7 Introduction Today’s reading concludes the story of the death and raising of Lazarus. Jesus weeps when he arrives at the tomb. After praying to the Father, Jesus calls Lazarus out of the tomb and instructs the onlookers to remove Lazarus’s burial cloths. Scripture Reading John 11:28-44 Today’s Key Verse: John 11:40 Jesus said to her, “Didn’t I tell you that you would see God’s glory if you believed?” Reflect Mary’s words in verse 32 echo those of Martha in verse 21. What do their words indicate about their faith in Jesus? How do you demonstrate your faith in Jesus? What was Jesus’s prayer (verses 41, 42)? What promise is given in verse 40? Pray Holy Jesus, I place my faith in you, knowing that you offer me life everlasting. I believe that you have come into the world to make God known and to reveal God’s glory. Amen.
