What Remains? On Transience, Remembrance, and the Hope That Sustains Us
In John’s Gospel, Jesus says: “I am the resurrection and the life” (John 11:25). He speaks these words not in a world where death has already been overcome, but at the tomb of his friend Lazarus. Jesus weeps. Therein lies a remarkable message: Christian faith does not demand that we overcome grief by pretending it is not there.
