Suffering can come at us when we least expect it. Life seems to be going well and then a large incident comes at us. Or maybe it is a series of smaller thigns that are repeated over and over. Often we can think that Jesus’ presence is far away. Does he know about what I am going throuh? Does he even care?

I recently preached a short meditation on Jesus' response to the death of Lazarus in John 11. This short message might be exactly what you or a friend or even your teen needs at this moment.
