Jesus' Compassion and Power The Raising of Lazarus John 11 Explained

"The Power of a Word: Jesus' Command in John 11"

In the Gospel of John, we encounter a powerful moment where the spoken word of Jesus brings a man back to life. John 11 recounts the death and resurrection of Lazarus, a narrative that not only reveals the compassionate nature of Jesus but also His supreme authority over life and death. The climax of this chapter is found in Jesus' simple yet profound command: "Lazarus, come forth" (John 11:43, KJV).

When Jesus arrived in Bethany, Lazarus had been dead for four days. The situation appeared hopeless; the mourning process was well underway, and the finality of death was evident. Even Martha, who expressed great faith in Jesus, was hesitant when He ordered the stone to be rolled away from the tomb, concerned about the odor of decay. Yet, Jesus had a purpose that went beyond the immediate grief—He intended to reveal the glory of God through an extraordinary miracle.

Before performing the miracle, Jesus prayed to the Father, not for His own benefit but for the sake of those standing by. He wanted them to believe that He was sent by God. Then, with a loud voice, He called out to Lazarus, who had been lifeless in the tomb. The power of Jesus' word alone was enough to reverse the decay, restore life, and bring Lazarus out of the tomb, still bound in his grave clothes.

This command, "Lazarus, come forth," is a powerful reminder of the authority of Jesus. Throughout the Gospels, we see instances where His word alone heals the sick, calms storms, and casts out demons. But in John 11, we see the ultimate demonstration of His power—His word brings the dead to life. This event not only confirmed Jesus' identity as the Son of God but also foreshadowed His own resurrection and the promise of eternal life for all who believe in Him.

For believers today, the story of Lazarus serves as a reminder of the life-giving power of Jesus' words. When we find ourselves in situations that seem beyond hope, when we feel spiritually dead or bound by circumstances, we can take comfort in knowing that Jesus' word is still powerful. He can speak life into our dead places, bringing hope and renewal where there was none.

And when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, 'Lazarus, come forth!' And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, 'Loose him, and let him go'" (John 11:43-44).

The miracle of resurrection

(3) The miracle of resurrection Christ is trying to bring the dead back to life during his public life. This appears three times in the Gospels. ① In the town of Nain (Luke7; 11-17) ➁ Geilo's daughter (Matthew9; 18-26, Mark 5; 21-43), Luke8; 40-56) ③ The Raising of Lazarus (John11; 1-44) When these miracles happened, no one expected the dead to come back to life again. It was unimaginable. In the case of Geilo's daughter, when Jesus told her that her daughter was alive and she was not dead, he all ridiculed the Lord (Mark 5; 40). At Lazarus, the Lord said to Malta, "Your brother will be resurrected." But it didn't seem to Malta that Lazarus would soon come back to life again. "Lord, it's already smelling," he didn't try to deal with. Christ, the Son of God, is the one who does what people do not expect. Considering these three points together, Christ wants to feel the secret thoughts and wishes of the people and make them as fulfillable as possible. Then, for the Lord's kind heart, I think the questions and conversations that came out of mere curiosity were very irresistible. Moreover, as long as he takes the passages of the Bible seriously, he cannot imagine Christ who cuts sharply with his head and handles everything in a clerical manner. The Lord also loved his enemies and taught him to pray for those who persecuted him. It is very unthinkable that the Lord himself has an unpleasant and uninteresting person, and the Lord looks at him coldly and silently avoids it. The fact that the Lord sometimes refused people's wishes can only be understood with a thorough understanding of these things. Just because God dislikes it, he is not the one who refuses.

John 11:32-45 32 Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. 33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled. 34 And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see. 35 Jesus wept. 36 Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him! 37 And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died? 38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. 39 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days. 40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? 41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. 42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. 43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. 44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go. 45 Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him. I wanted to post all of John 11 but there is a limit! Verse 25 is amazing, please go read the whole chapter later.

The Death of Lazarus - John11 14 So then he told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead, 15 and for your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.” 25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; 26 and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?” 40 Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?” 41 So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me.” 43 When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” 44 The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face. Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes and let him go.” https://www.instagram.com/p/By3PnQAlM6p/?igshid=sf7yzxvu04ag
