How does the resurrection of Lazarus demonstrate Jesus’ power?

Answered in 1 source

The resurrection of Lazarus showcases Jesus' authority over death and foreshadows His own resurrection.

In John 11, the resurrection of Lazarus serves as a powerful illustration of Jesus' divine authority over life and death. When Jesus states, 'I am the resurrection and the life,' He claims not only to have power over resurrection but also embodies it. His ability to raise Lazarus after four days in the tomb dramatically illustrates that Jesus is the source of life and that His word has the power to resurrect. This event not only deepens the disciples' understanding of His identity but also points towards the greater reality of His own resurrection, where He assures eternal life to all who believe in Him.
