In the story of raising Lazarus from the dead, Jesus says to his friend Martha "I am the resurrection and the life." In identifying himself with life, new life, and real life, and by demonstrating his heartfelt love for the hurting, and in the act of calling his friend back from the dead, the glory of God is unmistakably seen in Jesus. But his approach is a curious one. He delays. He gets angry. He weeps. He brings his friends, and us, a resurrection mindset that affects the past, the present, and the future. As "the life" who will die (soon, as a result of his miracle) he aims to show himself as the powerful one, who lives by his own agenda and as a result, offers compassion and knowledge of God, at the deepest levels.
