Jesus grieves with Mary and Martha over Lazarus and at the same time is their hope for the future. Likewise, we should expect grief and hope to be mingled in this life. As we grieve what we’ve lost (things in the past that are no longer now), our hope is for much more in the future with Christ. This hope drives us to act courageously and face potential loss now in order for Christ to be known now as the source of hope.
