Sermon for the Fifth Sunday of Lent

Today the lectionary gave us the story of the death and raising of Lazarus. Rev. Dr Richard Treloar preached on this passage on the day that I was inducted into a Field Education Placement in Trinity College Chapel in 2005. Four weeks later, I used the passage at the memorial service for three of the Janet Clarke Hall students who had been killed in a car accident over the Easter holidays. It is a pericope that means a lot to me; it is also one that I find it hard to preach on. Here’s today’s effort.
