How does the story of Lazarus illustrate salvation?

Answered in 1 source

The story of Lazarus serves as a powerful illustration of salvation, depicting Jesus' authority over death and His call to the spiritually dead.

The account of Lazarus in John 11 is a profound illustration of salvation and the believer's experience. Lazarus, representing all humanity dead in sin, is called forth by Jesus, who states, 'Lazarus, come forth.' This mirrors how God brings spiritual life to the dead in sins (Ephesians 2:1). Lazarus' situation emphasizes that, apart from Christ, there is no hope, as he was dead for four days. Yet, through Jesus’ love and power, he was revived, symbolizing the spiritual resurrection given to all who believe in Christ, showcasing the nature of God’s saving grace.
