Jesus Raises Lazarus from the Dead in Bethany

In this episode of Bible Bytes, we delve into the profound story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead, as recorded in the Gospel of John. This miracle not only demonstrates Jesus’ divine authority over life and death but also reveals his deep compassion and empathy for those who mourn. Through this event, we learn about the importance of trusting in God’s perfect timing, even when it doesn’t align with our expectations. Jesus’ delay in arriving at Bethany allowed for a greater revelation of God’s power, ultimately strengthening the faith of those who witnessed the miracle.

We explore key takeaways from this passage, including the assurance that Jesus is the resurrection and the life, offering eternal life to those who believe in him. The episode also highlights the significance of Jesus’ empathy, as demonstrated by the shortest verse in the Bible, “Jesus wept,” showing that he shares in our grief and walks with us through our trials. Finally, we discuss how faith can lead to miracles, as exemplified by Martha’s declaration of faith, and encourage listeners to trust in Jesus’ transformative power in their lives. Join us as we reflect on these lessons and close with a prayer for strength and understanding.

Speaker 2: I’m your host, Randy Black.

7
00:01:00,640 –> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 2: The story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead is one of the most powerful miracles recorded in the Gospel of John

8
00:01:09,820 –> 00:01:20,060
Speaker 2: This passage of Scripture demonstrates Jesus’ divine authority over life and death, reveals his deep compassion, and strengthens the faith of those who witnessed it

9
00:01:20,340 –> 00:01:30,259
Speaker 2: The event took place in Bethany, where Jesus deliberately delayed his arrival, allowing for a greater revelation of God’s power.

10
00:01:30,240 –> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 2: Through this miracle, Jesus not only restored physical life, but also foreshadowed his own resurrection, offering eternal life to all who believe in him

11
00:01:42,159 –> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 2: As we do each week before we dive into our study of the scripture, let’s open up in a word of prayer

12
00:01:50,020 –> 00:01:57,460
Speaker 2: Heavenly Father, we come before you with humble hearts, seeking wisdom and understanding as we study your word.

13
00:01:57,460 –> 00:02:02,899
Speaker 2: Open our minds to grasp the depth of your power, of your love

14
00:02:03,140 –> 00:02:07,220
Speaker 2: and of the faithfulness displayed in the story of Lazarus.

15
00:02:07,220 –> 00:02:13,940
Speaker 2: Help us to trust in your timing, even when we do not understand your ways

16
00:02:14,480 –> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 2: Strengthen our faith and draw us closer to you through this lesson on this scripture.

17
00:02:20,560 –> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 2: In the name of your son Jesus, we pray.

18
00:02:23,680 –> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 2: Amen.

19
00:02:33,040 –> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 2: John chapter eleven, verses twenty-five and twenty-six.

20
00:02:36,320 –> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 2: Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life, the one who believes.

21
00:02:40,840 –> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 2: believes in me will live even if he dies, and every one who lives and believes in me will never die.

22
00:02:47,080 –> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 2: Do you believe this?

23
00:02:52,680 –> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 2: John chapter 11 verse

24
00:02:55,680 –> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 2: Verses 1 through 16 introduces us to Lazarus, the brother of Mary and Martha, who had fallen gravely ill

25
00:03:04,020 –> 00:03:10,420
Speaker 2: The sisters sent word to Jesus hoping he would come quickly to heal their brother.

26
00:03:10,420 –> 00:03:11,540
Speaker 2: Surprisingly,

27
00:03:12,040 –> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 2: Jesus delayed his journey, telling his disciples that Lazarus’ sickness was for the glory of God.

28
00:03:18,840 –> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 2: This delay teaches us a vital lesson.

29
00:03:22,720 –> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 2: God’s timing is perfect even when it does not align with our expectations.

30
00:03:28,480 –> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 2: Jesus knew that a greater miracle was to be revealed, strengthening the faith of many

31
00:03:35,379 –> 00:03:45,620
Speaker 2: When Jesus finally arrived in Bethany, and we see that in John 11, 17-37, Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days.

32
00:03:46,160 –> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 2: Martha, filled with grief, but also faith, expressed confidence that Jesus could have saved her brother

33
00:03:56,940 –> 00:04:07,900
Speaker 2: Jesus responded with one of his most profound declarations: I am the resurrection and the life in John 11, verse 25.

34
00:04:08,220 –> 00:04:16,459
Speaker 2: This statement reveals that Jesus is not only the giver of life, but also the source of eternal life

35
00:04:16,720 –> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 2: Martha’s response, yes, Lord, I have come to believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God

36
00:04:24,260 –> 00:04:32,020
Speaker 2: that we see in chapter 11, verse 27, reflects the faith that Jesus desires in all believers.

37
00:04:33,140 –> 00:04:41,780
Speaker 2: The shortest verse of the Bible, Jesus wept, John 11, 35, is found within this passage.

38
00:04:42,020 –> 00:04:48,660
Speaker 2: This simple yet profound moment highlights the compassion of Jesus.

39
00:04:48,660 –> 00:04:54,260
Speaker 2: Even though he knew he would raise Lazarus, he grieved with those who mourned

40
00:04:54,520 –> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 2: This shows us that Jesus understands our pain and walks with us in our suffering.

41
00:05:00,840 –> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 2: His love is not distant, but deeply personal and empathetic

42
00:05:07,099 –> 00:05:15,020
Speaker 2: In John chapter 11, verses 38 through 45, Jesus commanded that the stone be removed from Lazarus’ tomb.

43
00:05:15,320 –> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 2: Despite Martha’s concern about the stench of death, Jesus assured her that she would see the glory of God.

44
00:05:23,820 –> 00:05:31,020
Speaker 2: Then he prayed to the Father and called Lazarus Lazarus forth from the tomb.

45
00:05:31,020 –> 00:05:32,540
Speaker 2: At his command,

46
00:05:32,740 –> 00:05:38,580
Speaker 2: Lazarus emerged from the tomb, alive and wrapped in burial clothes.

47
00:05:38,580 –> 00:05:41,860
Speaker 2: This miracle led many to believe in Jesus

48
00:05:42,139 –> 00:05:47,740
Speaker 2: Demonstrating his divine power and foreshadowing his own resurrection

49
00:05:50,120 –> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 2: We have four key takeaways from this passage of scripture.

50
00:05:55,400 –> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 2: The first is that God’s timing is perfect.

51
00:06:00,120 –> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 2: Jesus’ delay was intentional, revealing a greater miracle and strengthening faith.

52
00:06:05,800 –> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 2: Often we struggle with waiting for answers to our prayers, but

53
00:06:10,620 –> 00:06:15,020
Speaker 2: God’s plans unfold in his perfect time.

54
00:06:15,020 –> 00:06:18,379
Speaker 2: What may seem like a delay to us is actually a part of

55
00:06:18,920 –> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 2: His divine purpose.

56
00:06:20,760 –> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 2: We must trust that he sees the full picture and that he’s working all things for our good

57
00:06:27,940 –> 00:06:35,620
Speaker 2: This passage of scripture encourages us to rely on God’s wisdom rather than our own limited understanding.

58
00:06:36,320 –> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 2: Our next takeaway is that Jesus is the resurrection and the life.

59
00:06:42,560 –> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 2: This miracle illustrates to us Christ’s power over death.

60
00:06:48,120 –> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 2: and his promise of eternal life to those who believe in him.

61
00:06:53,560 –> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 2: Jesus was not just performing a temporary restoration, but was revealing his divine nature

62
00:06:59,820 –> 00:07:07,900
Speaker 2: His victory over death assures us that we too will have eternal life if we place our faith in him

63
00:07:08,620 –> 00:07:16,060
Speaker 2: This passage of Scripture calls us to reflect on our relationship with Jesus and embrace the hope he offers.

64
00:07:16,060 –> 00:07:21,500
Speaker 2: Belief in Christ leads to a life that transcends the grave

65
00:07:22,640 –> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 2: Our third takeaway is that Jesus shares in our grief.

66
00:07:27,840 –> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 2: The shortest verse of the Bible.

67
00:07:30,720 –> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 2: Jesus wept.

68
00:07:33,000 –> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 2: Reminds us that Jesus understands our sorrows and walks with us through our trials.

69
00:07:40,120 –> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 2: He does not stand at a distance

70
00:07:42,740 –> 00:07:48,260
Speaker 2: but enters into our pain, offering comfort and love.

71
00:07:48,260 –> 00:07:55,060
Speaker 2: This moment of of deep emotion shows us that grieving is is not a sign of weakness

72
00:07:55,620 –> 00:07:58,180
Speaker 2: But a natural response to loss.

73
00:07:58,979 –> 00:08:04,979
Speaker 2: Jesus’ compassion reassures us that we are never alone in our suffering.

74
00:08:05,120 –> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 2: In our darkest moments, he is present and is offering hope and peace.

75
00:08:13,940 –> 00:08:20,180
Speaker 2: And our final takeaway from this passage is that faith leads to miracles.

76
00:08:20,180 –> 00:08:23,220
Speaker 2: Martha’s declaration of faith was pivotal.

77
00:08:23,940 –> 00:08:31,620
Speaker 2: We too are called to believe in Jesus’ power, even in the face of hopelessness.

78
00:08:31,620 –> 00:08:36,740
Speaker 2: Faith does not mean we will always understand God’s plan.

79
00:08:37,020 –> 00:08:41,580
Speaker 2: But it does mean trusting in him despite uncertainty.

80
00:08:41,580 –> 00:08:48,380
Speaker 2: When we act in faith, we open the door for God to work in ways beyond our imagination

81
00:08:48,920 –> 00:08:58,279
Speaker 2: This scripture challenges us to place our trust in Jesus fully and witness his transformative power in our lives.

82
00:09:00,680 –> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 2: The raising of Lazarus challenges us to evaluate our own faith.

83
00:09:05,320 –> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 2: Do we truly believe in Jesus as the resurrection and the life?

84
00:09:10,020 –> 00:09:16,340
Speaker 2: When faced with trials, do we trust in his timing or do we grow impatient?

85
00:09:16,660 –> 00:09:21,300
Speaker 2: Martha and Mary must have struggled with doubt when Jesus delayed.

86
00:09:21,339 –> 00:09:25,420
Speaker 2: Yet in the end, they witnessed an incredible miracle.

87
00:09:25,420 –> 00:09:29,740
Speaker 2: Our lives too require patience and trust in God’s plan

88
00:09:31,140 –> 00:09:34,500
Speaker 2: This story also speaks to the nature of grief.

89
00:09:34,500 –> 00:09:41,300
Speaker 2: It is comforting to know that Jesus himself experienced sorrow and wept for his friend

90
00:09:41,620 –> 00:09:45,779
Speaker 2: In times of loss, we are not alone.

91
00:09:45,779 –> 00:09:50,260
Speaker 2: Jesus walks with us, offering comfort and hope

92
00:09:50,620 –> 00:09:57,820
Speaker 2: His tears remind us of his deep love for us and his desire to bring restoration

93
00:09:59,180 –> 00:10:09,260
Speaker 2: Furthermore, Lazarus’ resurrection is a powerful foreshadowing of Jesus’ own resurrection, just as Lazarus was called out of the tomb.

94
00:10:09,320 –> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 2: so are we called out of spiritual death into a new life through Christ.

95
00:10:16,520 –> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 2: His victory over death assures us of our own eternal life if we place our trust in Him.

96
00:10:24,880 –> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 2: Finally, this passage calls us to action.

97
00:10:28,480 –> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 2: Many who witnessed Lazarus’ resurrection believed in Jesus

98
00:10:34,480 –> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 2: Our faith should not remain hidden, but should be a testimony to others.

99
00:10:40,800 –> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 2: We are called to share the good news of Christ’s power over death.

100
00:10:45,839 –> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 2: and his promise of eternal life.

101
00:10:50,800 –> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 2: Let’s now close out our study of the scripture with a word of prayer

102
00:10:57,000 –> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 2: Lord, we thank you for your Son and His revealing of His power over death and offering us eternal life.

103
00:11:04,760 –> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 2: Strengthen our faith even when we do not understand your ways.

104
00:11:10,520 –> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 2: Help us trust in your perfect timing and find comfort in your presence during our trials.

105
00:11:15,800 –> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 2: May we boldly proclaim your name, just as those who witnessed Lazarus’ resurrection did

106
00:11:23,140 –> 00:11:30,740
Speaker 2: Lead us to walk in the new life you have given us and to share your love with others

107
00:11:31,740 –> 00:11:35,339
Speaker 2: In the holy name of your son, Jesus, we pray.

108
00:11:35,339 –> 00:11:36,300
Speaker 2: Amen.

00:12:02,160 –> 00:12:09,440

Speaker 2: It could be creating cover art.

122
00:12:31,000 –> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 2: It could be even writing out a lesson or stepping up and offering to record with us.

123
00:12:35,560 –> 00:12:37,399
Speaker 2: And treasure would be something that is.

Speaker 2: Uh please consider it and lift it up.

152
00:14:33,620 –> 00:14:38,340
Speaker 2: Our prayer requests for this week, we continue with the same same ones we’ve had for a little while.

153
00:14:38,340 –> 00:14:40,580
Speaker 2: Uh continue to remember my mom and my dad.

154
00:14:40,580 –> 00:14:43,540
Speaker 2: My dad has his last treatment.

Speaker 2: uh his last radiation treatment uh for the cancer on Monday of next week on the uh will be the seventeenth

156
00:14:51,520 –> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 2: So we are celebrating that this weekend.

157
00:14:54,320 –> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 2: Um he’s gonna go for have a three-month period of time, and after three months, they’re gonna evaluate everything again and see where he stands.

158
00:15:00,640 –> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 2: But the doctors are very, very sure they’ve

159
00:15:03,740 –> 00:15:05,260
Speaker 2: been able to take care of this.

160
00:15:05,580 –> 00:15:10,940
Speaker 2: We know that God has has helped them in these procedures and to get these things done.

161
00:15:11,340 –> 00:15:14,300
Speaker 2: But he still has a a little bit of a road to go through.

162
00:15:14,959 –> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 2: My mom as well has been supporting him and helping him and lifting him up and keeping him on track uh with that, keeping him positive throughout everything.

163
00:15:22,560 –> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 2: But

164
00:15:22,959 –> 00:15:26,959
Speaker 2: The biggest thing to remember for them is that we we want to see them back in church.

165
00:15:27,040 –> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 2: We want to see them and worship with others each week.

166
00:15:30,080 –> 00:15:30,399
Speaker 2: Um

167
00:15:30,560 –> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 2: I know where they stand.

168
00:15:31,840 –> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 2: I know what they believe.

169
00:15:32,960 –> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 2: I know that they have have been saved and are faithful to that, but I want to see them be able to return to have a worship with others.

170
00:15:42,700 –> 00:15:48,540
Speaker 2: Continue to remember our family friend Greg with the the diagnosis and things going on with him with his cancer.

171
00:15:48,779 –> 00:15:50,700
Speaker 2: So we’re going to continue to pray for Greg.

172
00:15:50,940 –> 00:15:55,660
Speaker 2: Tim Kaletka, I talked to Tim uh early this morning uh through a chat

173
00:15:55,540 –> 00:15:57,300
Speaker 2: Uh his treatments are working well.

174
00:15:57,300 –> 00:15:59,540
Speaker 2: God has blessed him and touched him and helped him.

175
00:15:59,540 –> 00:16:00,980
Speaker 2: So we’re happy to report that.

176
00:16:00,980 –> 00:16:02,420
Speaker 2: He still has a little ways to go.

177
00:16:02,420 –> 00:16:04,740
Speaker 2: We want to continue to remember Tim through that.

178
00:16:04,839 –> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 2: Uh my dad’s cousin Kevin, uh they ultimately did I don’t know if I said it or not, but they did have to remove uh a toe from his foot uh because of an injury and things.

179
00:16:14,920 –> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 2: So he has a long path ahead learning to to

180
00:16:19,120 –> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 2: how to walk and do things properly ’cause without the without the big toe you have problems with balance and things.

181
00:16:24,160 –> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 2: So he’s gonna have to go and and go to a rehab facility and things and

182
00:16:28,259 –> 00:16:30,259
Speaker 2: Or a not a rehab facility.

183
00:16:30,339 –> 00:16:41,300
Speaker 2: You go to a a care facility so they can help him and recover um and um be able to get back to uh a somewhat normal way of life with that.

184
00:16:41,600 –> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 2: Also continue to remember me, I’ve still having success in the changes I’ve made and with the medication, but I’m having some

185
00:16:49,579 –> 00:16:54,380
Speaker 2: some other issues related to the medication and and the digestive system.

186
00:16:54,380 –> 00:16:57,819
Speaker 2: So uh that’s been a little a little rough for the last couple days

187
00:16:57,959 –> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 2: But continue to remember me on this journey as I try to get the weight off and make myself healthier and and and be able to live the life I want to live and be in the the shape I want to be in

188
00:17:11,380 –> 00:17:18,980
Speaker 2: So let’s before we talk about uh next week’s show, let’s go ahead and and close out with one more word of prayer.

189
00:17:20,040 –> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 2: Heavenly Father, we thank you once again for this chance to gather together and to learn from your word.

190
00:17:25,800 –> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 2: We want to lift up these requests.

191
00:17:27,960 –> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 2: for mom and dad and Greg, Tim, and Kevin, and myself, and any of the unspoken requests those who are listening may have, that we trust that you can touch them and you can answer them in the way that best fits with your will

192
00:17:40,640 –> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 2: We know you hold the answers to our prayers, and we trust you and your wisdom in meeting those requests.

193
00:17:46,960 –> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 2: It is in your name that we’re working every week here on this show to share your word with others

194
00:17:53,980 –> 00:18:03,980
Speaker 2: who may not be able to make it to church and they just need that that that study um in the week to to help help keep them along, keep them growing and

195
00:18:04,340 –> 00:18:16,020
Speaker 2: Especially for those who may hear the show who do not know your son Jesus as their Savior, that they can accept him and then be able to spend eternity in heaven with all of us who are saved and with you and with your son

196
00:18:16,460 –> 00:18:19,660
Speaker 2: And it’s in the name of your son Jesus that we pray these things.

197
00:18:19,660 –> 00:18:20,620
Speaker 2: Amen.

198
00:18:21,900 –> 00:18:25,660
Speaker 2: Next week on the show, we’re going to look at another miracle in our series.

199
00:18:25,660 –> 00:18:28,060
Speaker 2: This will be miracle number 34.

200
00:18:28,040 –> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 2: That’s when Jesus restores sight to Bartimaeus in Jericho.

201
00:18:32,840 –> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 2: You can find that in three of the Gospels.

202
00:18:34,680 –> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 2: That’s in Matthew chapter 20, verses 29 through 34.

203
00:18:39,540 –> 00:18:48,900
Speaker 2: Mark chapter 10, verses 46 through 52, and Luke chapter 18, verses 35 through 43.
