Jesus had raised Lazarus from the dead. The crowd that saw these things happen was the crowd that welcomed Him into Jerusalem with shouts of "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord." Little did they know that their shouts of joy might soon turn to shouts of "Crucify Him!" And even though Jesus had told His disciples, His entrance into Jerusalem also meant His own resurrection would soon take place, but first His death. And Lazarus' own resurrection pointed not to just Jesus' resurrection, but to ours as well.
