Out From the Grave

The raising of Lazarus is the seventh and climactic of Jesus' miraculous signs in the Gospel of John. John says Jesus did many miracles, but these seven particularly revealed who Jesus was and what he came to do. And this one is probably the most famous. Jesus especially loved Mary, Martha, and Lazarus—there was a special friendship there. But Lazarus gets sick when Jesus is away, and Lazarus is dead by the time Jesus gets there. Everyone's mourning, and that's when this account begins. Looking at this passage, we learn 1) about who Jesus is, from when he's with the sisters, and 2) about what Jesus came to do, from when he's with Lazarus.
