The Fifth Sunday in Lent

An online service of worship

Scripture Text: Ezekiel 37:1–14; Psalm 130:1–8; Romans 8:1–11; John 11:1–45

March 29, 2020 By Rev. Mark Ryman

Our thanks to Augsburg Publishing for permitting the use of their music during the pandemic.

A valley of long-dead bones is revivified. A dead man is raised from the grave. And we too, who were dead in our sins, dead men walking in this flesh, are raised to new life in Christ. But this happens, not because a prophet spoke or even because the Lord said, “Come forth,” but because the Son of Man died for the world, becoming the resurrection and the life to everyone who believes.
