Jesus raised a dead man from the grave. It was a close friend of his named Lazarus. This miracle shows us a very tender side of Jesus; He is affected by our pain. It also helps us wrestle with the timing of God’s work in our lives: He’s always on time even when it appears He is late. And it provides us with one if Jesus’ greatest statements about Himself and the purpose for which He came. Of all the miracles, this one might be the most hope-filled for us.
