What does the Bible say about Lazarus being raised from the dead?

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible indicates that Lazarus' resurrection demonstrates Jesus' power over death and foreshadows His own death and resurrection.

In John 11, the account of Lazarus being raised from the dead highlights the miraculous power of Jesus. This event not only serves as a powerful testament to Christ’s authority over life and death, but it also sets the stage for the crucifixion of Christ, as the miraculous raising of Lazarus prompted the chief priests and Pharisees to seek His death. This miracle illustrates a vital truth in Reformed theology: just as Lazarus was called forth from physical death, believers are spiritually raised from death to life through Christ.
