I remember the story of Jesus when he was told that Lazarus died. He took the long trip back to where Lazarus was. I wonder what Jesus was thinking while he was on his way knowing that Lazarus is already dead. For sure, he knows Lazarus was going to live again and he was assured.
Our hope is that in death there is resurrection. Like Jesus, we know that death is not the end for we shall rise to be with God again. But the long trip down to visit our loved one is still a journey that I hope not too many people will experience.
I went home to my hometown to visit the grave of my Mom. On the 40th day after her death, I know Jesus has also called her to rise again in resurrection to be with God in heaven.
