In this powerful Lenten reflection, Rev Lucy Flatt (St John’s Anglican Church, Johnsonville) leads us through the story of Lazarus in John 11.

Jesus meets Mary and Martha in their grief, pauses at the tomb of his friend, and weeps — reminding us that God is present not only in our future hope, but in our present pain.

Lucy explores:
• Why Jesus’ tears matter
• The tension of sadness and resurrection hope
• How God meets us in our deepest hurts
• What “I am the resurrection and the life” means for us here and now
• The invitation to bring our grief, brokenness, and longing to God

If you’re carrying heaviness or longing for renewal, this message offers space to breathe, weep, and hope again.
