John 11:43 When He had said these things, He cried out with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come forth."
So those standing around might believe, Jesus cried out with a loud voice to Lazarus. He wanted everyone there to witness God’s testimony about Him when He speaks and God raises Lazarus. The miracle of a dead man coming back to life is sensational, but that’s not the highlight of this event. The spotlight is on God doing what Jesus commands. HE is the resurrection and the life! God says He is, as He speaks and Lazarus rises and walks out of the tomb. Dear believing friends. We are walking testimonies that Jesus is the resurrection and the life. We once were dead in sin and selfishness, but we have been raised with Christ to love with Him in this world. There was a day in my life when Jesus said, “Norm, come forth.” and I was raised to life with Jesus. The same is true for all who believe. Glory be to God through Jesus Christ, His Son.
