LAZARUS
RAISED FROM THE DEAD
“The man Jesus called out of the tomb.”
MEET LAZARUS
Lazarus of Bethany was Jesus' friend — and the greatest preview of Easter. Four days dead, and Jesus called him by name back to life.
THE STORY
Jesus wept at Lazarus' tomb — then commanded, 'Lazarus, come forth!' The dead man walked out, grave-clothes and all. So many people believed because of Lazarus that the authorities plotted against him too. His life became a living testimony.
