While Lent focuses on Christ’s suffering and upcoming death, this week’s readings turn to the resurrection and life. Ezekiel takes us to the valley of the dry bones, and we hear the promise, “You shall know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves, and raise you from your graves” (Ezek 37:13). The Romans 8 reading finishes with the promise “He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you” (Epistle, Rom 8:11). Finally, John 11 tells of Lazarus coming out of the tomb. Of course, every Sunday, including those in Lent, is a celebration of Christ’s resurrection.
