Lazarus

Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead in John 11 of the New Testament.

Lazarus and his two sisters, Mary and Martha, were friends of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  When Lazarus became sick, his sisters sent a message, "Lord, the one you love is sick." When He heard the news, He waited before going to Lazarus' hometown of Bethany, realizing that He would soon perform a great miracle.

When Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ arrived in Bethany, Lazarus had already been dead for four days. Martha told Him, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died." He responded, "Your brother will rise again. I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die."

Jesus went to the tomb of Lazarus with Mary, Martha and the other mourners. He asked them to remove the stone that covered the hillside burial place. He prayed and then said, "Lazarus come out." Upon these words, Lazarus stepped out of the tomb.

This resurrection os one of several in the bible. Are you waiting for the Lord Our Savior Jesus Christ to lift you out of some challenge in your life? He may be taking His time to test your ability to find your own way through. You must understand this and have patience as you struggle to find your path to heaven. If you believe in Him then you will never die. Listen to the Word to gain the most powerful force available to us while we are on earth.
