The first reading tells how God promises to make His people live through His Spirit. The second reading tells us that if we are in Christ, although our bodies are dead due to sin, our spirits are alive because of righteousness. Again, it says if the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in us, the one who raised Jesus from the dead will give life to our mortal bodies through His Spirit dwelling in us. In the gospel reading, Jesus brought Lazarus back to life through the Spirit of God. Dear friends, how often do we long for the Spirit of that gives life and makes everything new? How often do we desire to live by the Spirit of God? Many Christians desire to live by the flesh rather than living by the Spirit. Saint Paul tells us that those who live by the flesh cannot please God, only those who live by the Spirit. Let us always live and work in the Spirit of God, this Spirit that gives life. If we must have eternal life we must learn to live and work by the Spirit. In the resurrection of Lazarus in the gospel of today, Jesus gives us glimpse of what He will do with our bodies when we die if only we are ready to live by the Spirit of God.
Prayer: Lord Jesus help us to live and work by the Spirit so that in all that we do and undertake we will please your Father. Amen
