Lazarus Raised from the Dead

Mary and Martha sent word to Jesus that their brother Lazarus was ill. Jesus waited two days before going to Bethany. By the time He arrived, Lazarus had been dead for four days. Jesus told Martha, "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die." He went to the tomb and called out, "Lazarus, come out!" The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped in strips of linen. Jesus has power over death itself—there is always hope, even in the darkest hour.
