The Bible is full of stories of God’s last-minute, eleventh-hour deliverance. The Israelites are nearly defeated by Pharaoh and his army when at the last minute the Red Sea was parted. Abraham almost went through with slaying his son Isaac when at the last minute an angel intervened. But what happens when the eleventh hour comes and goes? The story of the raising of Lazarus shows that Jesus is capable of working even beyond the eleventh hour. Jesus says: I am the resurrection and the life.
