| Summary: When Jesus heard that his friend Lazarus had died, he did nothing for a few days. Not because he didn’t care but because he saw in this death an opportunity to show his followers more clearly who he is and was. The story is complex and raises lots of good questions.

| Summary: Christ calls forth the dead Lazarus from his tomb and asks others to unbind him and set him free. This is a symbol of what Christ can do for those entombed by sin.

| Summary: The story of the raising of Lazarus gives us hope for the future. Jesus weeps for Lazarus, showing us that he understands the human condition of sorrow and grief. But he also raises Lazarus, and he will raise us out of whatever pains us in this life, because the compassion of Jesus gives us the ultimate hope of eternal life. |

| Summary: Though we die, that is not the end. We don’t know the details of what’s on the other side of death, but we know that Jesus is there. He has descended into death ahead of us, and has arisen to let us know that we will be safe as we pass through death. |
