---One of the most astounding cases of Jesus divinity was his resurrection of Lazarus.

---He wanted to do it. As part of the Trinity, the Trinity had a message for humanity. “Resurrection is coming, it will definitely happen at the Second Coming. See for yourself”.

---So amazing was Lazarus Resurrection that Pontius Pilate and his wife heard about it as well.

---The news of Lazarus thus spread among the Romans as well.

---Christ was glorified in His humanity here with the Resurrection of Lazarus.

---It is a biblical fact that Resurrection is reserved for the Second Coming of Christ.

---That is the belief that Mary told Jesus when He was saying to her that Lazarus will be resurrected. She thought he was talking about the Second Coming.

---They had to belief in Jesus as divine and able to Resurrect. Momentarily.

---Jesus on purpose delayed the arrival at the funeral so that Lazarus was already decayed for four days.

---Jesus arrived after the funeral so to speak.

---Mary believed in Jesus’ power to save people’s lives from illness up to the point of death.

---He was insisting that Lazarus is just sleeping and He will wake him up. He also admitted that Lazarus is dead.

---Satan had no power with Christ when He intended to wake Lazarus up.

---Demons and Satan and their audience were pushed aside that day. The whole of the universe unfallen worlds watched the ability of the Son of God and the Trinity to do what they promise to do at the Second Coming.

---He spoke and life flew into the rotten body of Lazarus and he came out alive.

---Dario Fo, the theater performer of Italy, wrote a play about Lazarus. In the play he focused on the audience and their reaction.

---The audience that day had self-interest. They were coming to watch a magical show.

---They were selling candies among the audience.

---They complain about people standing in front of them so that they cannot see.

---Someone screamed congratulations to Christ but at the same time realized someone has stolen his wallet. Christ and wallet is what he screamed.

---It is a solo performance.

---When I watched the performance as a student at a state university, I asked the performer to come and replay it at our Adventist institution on a Friday night.

---The drama student did.

---Frail is humanity amid divinity performing great things for our salvation.

---Our attention and focus is on ourselves and worldly things even in the presence of the Almighty.

---We have to be resurrected as a new person in Christ spiritually so that the hope of Resurrection is also ours for the Second Coming.
