REBROADCAST - Episode 025: Lazarus, the Resurrection, and God's Response to Suffering (Mar 26, 2023)


Listen Later

“Lazarus, come out!” These are the words with which Our Lord raises Lazarus from the dead but they are also the words that in many ways seal his own fate. Following the undeniable miracle of raising a man from the dead, the Pharisees and chief priests no longer stand by but decide to put Our Lord to death. But if Jesus is not conquered by death and neither is Lazarus, then our readings today offer each of us the same hope for the Resurrection.
In this episode discover:
- The location of the raising of Lazarus and how it reveals the familiarity and friendship that Jesus and Lazarus possessed
- How our Gospel provides an answer to the ever-present "problem" of evil
- The Jewish view of death that explains why Jesus waits several days before going to Lazarus
- What the preternatural gifts are and how they explain the intrinsically disturbing nature of death
- The Old Testament prophecy from the Book of Ezekiel that our New Testament miracle fulfills
