The last miracle John recorded before the resurrection shows the fulfillment of our Lord’s promise to all who believe in His name as He called Lazarus out of the grave and restored him from death to life. Even though Jesus knew Lazarus was sick, He actually waited until Lazarus was dead and buried before He responded to the sisters’ call for help. He did this so He could bring Lazarus back to life. It was an unmistakable model of the resurrection of the believing dead, and a perfect example of the incredible love God has for us. This miracle is a promise that all who believe in Him will live even though they die and those who live and believe will never die.
