Lectionary AScriptures for LENT 5

John 11:1-45Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead

Ezekiel 37:1-1Ezekiel preaches to the bones

Psalm 130A cry for help

Romans 8:6-11The spirit is life and peace

"Mortal, can these bones live?"

Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.

For with the Lord there is steadfast love,

and with him is great power to redeem.

He who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also through his Spirit that dwells in you.

But those who walk at night stumble, because the light is not in them.

Those who walk during the day do not stumble,

because they see the light of this world.

Your brother will rise again.

"I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me…will never die."

"Lazarus, come out!"

"Did I not tell you that if you believed,

you would see the glory of God?"
