We don't like to think of illness or death at Christmastime, but these shadows can fall on any season. Jesus taught us an unforgettable lesson in empathy when he shared the grief of his friends aFter the death of Lazarus."Jesus wept. "Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!..."Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus...cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. "And he that was dead came forth" (John 11:35,36,41,43,44)
