Lent Day 35...Day 204 (I Kings 17,18; John 11)..."Lazarus Rises"

What a dramatic moment in the ministry of Jesus. Lazarus comes out of his grave clothes. Imagine the drama of a man dead four days (four confirmed the death) walking around. This event would be the final straw that would seal Jesus' fate on the cross.

Speaking of grave clothes...I imagine this being a metaphor for people walking around as if they were dead. Do we ever walk around half dead or even death. Jesus brings the spiritually dead to life too. John 11 has the most famous "I Am" saying..."I am the resurrection and the life he who believes in me will never die." We are getting close to Easter!
