John 11:17-44

Chris Breslin

“I would not be a Christian apart from those tears. Jesus’ wasteful tears.” –Steve Garber (recounted in Makoto Fujimura’s Tears for Fragile Emanations

While the symbolism of hot cross buns doesn’t share the sacredness of bread and wine, it still serves to remind us of the dark wonder of this day. We cannot make it to Easter Sunday without marking the day of death; we cannot escape the scent of a buried Christ. The spicy sweetness of hot cross buns holds the juxtaposition of this odd day—while we mourn the darkness, we know the light is on its way.” –Kendall Vanderslice (One a Penny, Two a Penny, Hot Pagan Buns from Christ and Pop Culture)

“As Lazarus’ raising gives glory to God and confirms Jesus’ special relationship to the Father, so Jesus’ resurrection glorifies God and validates his identity as the one sent from the Father” –Rebecca Eklund, Jesus Wept: The Significance of Jesus’ Laments in the New Testament
