"Waiting" a meditation on the Gospel Lesson for the Fifth Sunday in Lent; John 11:1-45

The following is a Youtube video from my channel where I share a short homily based on the Gospel of John 11:1-45 the account of Jesus' miracle of raising his friend Lazarus from the dead.  Perhaps one of Jesus greatest miracles, this demonstration of Jesus power over death comes at a critical time in Jesus' ministry.  Going to Bethany and nearing Jerusalem, Jesus is a marked man.  Yet Jesus decision to wait deserves some consideration.  This account challenges us into a new frame of mind when we are forced to wait on God.  What can Jesus teach us about how to approach times when we are forced to wait on God or are facing a decision that requires us to reflect and wait?
