And many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to console them about their
brother.
Is there any hope? Can I go on? Can these bones live again? The answer is a resounding yes.
There is hope. You can go on, and Jesus will show you the way.
(John 11:19
NRSV)
Mary and Martha were in a valley when their brother Lazarus died. They sent for the Master as
soon as he fell ill, but Jesus was delayed. Now Lazarus had been in the tomb for four days.
"Lord," said Mary, "If you had been here, my brother would not have died." Then she began to
weep. Her tears were so moving that Jesus began to weep as well. For a time Mary and Martha
were living in the valley of hopelessness. Some of you have been there. All of us will be in that
valley at some time in our lives.
Dear God, in my brokenness, give me hope. Amen.
