Lazarus page 1 by ric gustafson
Tears came to the eyes of Lazarus. Even though it was his 30th birthday, he was sad. Thirty days ago, his wife Eliza had died in childbirth along with his newborn son. Today was the end of his official mourning. It was spring and time to go back to his vineyards. His friend Judah informed him about the new Roman governor. His name was Pontius Pilate.
Judah grinned. " I have other news my friend".
" What news?".
" There is a new prophet". He smiled. " His name is John".
" Is he a true prophet of the Lord". His voice hesitated. " Or a fool".
" I need to go see for myself".
When they reached Lazarus's home, his sister Martha had a huge meal prepared for them. She kept the house, vineyards and servants in good shape while he was gone.
Lazarus enjoyed the evening with his friend. He still missed his wife and son.
