Lazarus, come out! (John 11:43).
Reading the Bible is like watching a play with human characters who actted out their lives on small triumph and large tragedy, while periodically calling to an unseen Stage Manager :
- Job : "God, do You have eyes o flesh, do You see as a mortal sees ?(Job 10:4)
Not far from the dusty plains where Job had travailed, God Jesus got acquinted with grief in person (Philip Yancey).
- Jesus : "Lazarus, your brother will rise" (John 11:23).
- Martha : " I know he will rise, in the resurrection on the last day".
- Jesus :" I am the resurrection and the life and everyone who believes in Me, even if he dies, will live".
- Martha : " I believe that You are the Messiah, the Son of God"
When Jesus saw Martha and Mary weeping, He became perturbed and deeply.
Jesus wept (John 11:35)
God is no mute : the Word spoke out of the human larynx of a Palestinian Jew:
- Jesus : "Lazarus, come out!"
The dead man came out, tied hand and foot with barial bands, and his face wrapped in a cloth.
