Scripture Post #781: *LAZARUS, COME FORTH*

John 11:

43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. 

44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

JESUS raised Lazarus from the dead. Not by laying hands on 'im, or even gettin' close to 'im—just by calling him forth!

Context:

John 11:38: "Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it."

V. 39: "Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days."

V. 40: "Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?"

V. 41: "Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me."

V. 42: "And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me." 

V. 43: "And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth."

V. 44: "And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go."
