Nobody has returned from the dead since the resurrection of Christ.

Um, Lazarus?

Lazarus was raised before the crucifixion, wasn't he?

If I remember my Bible correctly Lazarus was resurrected from the dead by Christ before Christ died and came back.

Um, Lazarus was raised from the dead by Christ. I am assuming that Christ was alive at the time, hence "since" is correct.

I'm not joining the crowd to correct your time-line...
but I'll take a second to point folks to the parable of the rich man and
"the other Lazarus" in the sixteenth chapter of Luke.

That's a good one for folks thinkin' 'bout NDEs and mortality/death.

Christ had not been crucified when he raised Lazarus from the dead, so the statement is correct.

Nobody has returned from the dead since the resurrection of Christ.

Lazarus was raised BEFORE Christ's Death and Resurrection which act was in part, responsible for the envy that drove the officials of that day to do the murderous deed... to Jesus.

HOWEVER. After the Ascension.
Peter raised "dorcas" in the book of Acts... a few years afterwords.
Paul also raised a guy who had died from a third story tumble during a LONG, HOT tiring sermon.

Some folks believe it. Others don't.

tHAT WAS PRIOR.

There is a senior pastor in Mexico who will not even consider a candidate for a branch church until that candidate has a SERIES OF BONAFIDE RESURRECTIONS under his belt.

And I remember the story in China of a peasant woman who had a simple faith in God and her dead husband was laid out by her and relatives beside the road where the woman preached the gospel for 3 days including that her husband would be resurrected. And he was.

And Billy Graham checked out some such in Indonesia decades ago and concluded that the reports were credible.

Nevertheless, we will live to see such even on CNN and in a small town and large city and perhaps relatives and friends near you.

Resurrections will become virtually common place in our era.

Given the death that will be more common, they will be a source of HOPE in THE RESURRECTION.
