«Chapter 11»

On his arrival, Jesus found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days. When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him, but Mary stayed at home.

“Lord,” Martha said to Jesus, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died. But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask.”

Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”

Martha answered, “I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”

Jesus said to her, “I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE. HE WHO BELIEVES IN ME WILL LIVE, EVEN THOUGH HE DIES; AND WHOEVER LIVES AND BELIEVES IN ME WILL NEVER DIE. Do you believe this?”

“Yes, Lord,” she told him, “I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.”

And after she had said this, she went back and called her sister Mary aside. “The Teacher is here,” she said, “and is asking for you.” When Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to him.

When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.”

When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled. “Where have you laid him?” he asked.

“Come and see, Lord,” they replied.

Jesus wept.

Then the Jews said, “See how he loved him!”

But some of them said, “Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this man from dying?

Jesus, once more deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance. “Take away the stone,” he said.

“But, Lord,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man, “by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been there four days.”

Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?”

So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me.”

When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “LAZARUS, COME OUT!” The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face.

Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes and let him go.”

Therefore many of the Jews who had come to visit Mary, and had seen what Jesus did, put their faith in him. But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done. Then the chief priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the Sanhedrin.

“What are we accomplishing?” they asked. “Here is this man performing many miraculous signs. If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and then the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”

Then one of them, named Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, spoke up, “You know nothing at all! You do not realize that IT IS BETTER FOR YOU THAT ONE MAN DIE FOR THE PEOPLE THAN THAT THE WHOLE NATION PERISH.”

Good Morning, Dan. :-)

[Hebrews 11:6]

It is indeed
Since we’ve been freed
A real good morning
Due to our borning
Again

All in all, great photos, well done, Dan!

[Hebrews 11:6]

I expect Lazarus is also enthusiastic!

[Bob434]

There will probably be a history channel show called “the real truth about Jesus raising Lazarus” where they explain away what happened by claiming that it was an elaborate trick by fanatics where theymused puffer fish poison to “make it appear that Lazarus was dead” like the witch doctors do in other lands.

The world would rather beleive a lie than the truth. The history Channel goes to,great lengths to pervert the truth and promote the lies of the evil one. One day though they will have their eyes opened and realize what fools they have been.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Every knee will bow and every tongue confess....

[Hebrews 11:6]

Alba, dear dear Alba, I feel it is my duty as host to prepare you properly, because tomorrow you are going to think you've died and gone to Fenster Heaven:

The third and final installment of Lazarus' story has

32 STAINED GLASS WINDOWS

[Scott from the Left Coast]

We arrive at the crux of the whole matter…the power of Christ to defeat death.

The Schroeder perspective is eye-grabbing, this from the viewpoint of Lazarus, brought back from Sheol by the power of the author of life. Simple, yet powerful. The Tissot perspective is unusual as well, if not quite as dramatic.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Not Schroeder…Schrom (auto correct got me again)

[InkStone]

Good Morning Dan, and happy mid-week to all.

Such Sculpture and Reliefs, and yes paintings also:

What a great gallery in which to meet all those who comment. Thank You Dan!

[Hebrews 11:6]

We arrive at the crux of the whole matter

Dictionary.com:

crux [ kruhks ]

noun, plural crux·es, cru·ces [kroo-seez].

1 a vital, basic, decisive, or pivotal point:
The crux of the trial was his whereabouts at the time of the murder.
2 a cross.
3 something that torments by its puzzling nature; a perplexing difficulty.

Origin of crux
1635–45; Latin: stake, scaffold, or cross used in executions, torment; figurative senses perhaps; New Latin crux (interpretum) (commentators') torment, a difficult passage in a text; cf. crucial

[Hebrews 11:6]

Hi, Leon. Always glad to see your cheery greeting!

[Scott from the Left Coast]

That’s a nice double-meaning, which I wish I could say I intended…but alas, it just came out that way with no conscious intention on my part!

[Hebrews 11:6]

Scott, you need to learn to recognize when you have allowed the Holy Spirit to speak through you. What fun!

[Scott from the Left Coast]

The Spirit is tricksy that way…nod to Tolkien

[Hebrews 11:6]

Gollum and Spirit in the same thought: Yikes!

[Scott from the Left Coast]

You can never say my mind is not addled…

[Hebrews 11:6]

If Frodo can outdo Smeagol, so can you! I’ll be your Sam....
