Why is the resurrection of Lazarus significant?

Answered in 2 sources

The resurrection of Lazarus illustrates Jesus’ power over death and is a foreshadowing of the resurrection life that believers will experience.

Lazarus' resurrection is significant as it serves as a tangible demonstration of Jesus Christ's authority over death and sin, affirming His divine nature as the source of life (John 11:43-44). This event not only glorifies Christ but also provides a peek into the profound truth that all who are spiritually dead in sin can experience new life through Christ. Just as Jesus called Lazarus forth from the grave, so too does He call the elect to spiritual life, illustrating the principles of regeneration and resurrection that are central to the Christian faith, and assuring believers of their future resurrection.
