I'm an avid church sign reader. Most of them make me cringe as they try to be cute with scripture teaching or holy days, but there is one near my house that says something to the effect that there is a difference between knowing about someone and knowing someone - in particular Jesus.
I would take that a step further - there is a difference between knowing someone and trusting them. There is so much trust in today's scripture lessons. Specifically trusting the voice of Jesus in our lives. I have to wonder if Lazarus would have come out of the grave in the same way if it had been Jesus's voice he heard. I have to wonder how Mary would have reacted if someone else would have called her name and told her Jesus was alive.
How do we respond when the voice of Christ comes breaking into our hearts and lives? Do we trust Jesus enough to respond? And how can we grow in such trust day by day?
