The Resurrection of Lazarus
Text: John 11: 43-44
THE RESURRECTION OF LAZARUS
Every miracle Jesus performed was spectacular. Every act of healing is special and wonderful. The miracle of Lazarus from the dead was definitely a glorious demonstration of God’s power in the life of Jesus.
“Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, ‘Lazarus, come forth!’ And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, ‘Loose him, and let him go.’”

拉撒路从死里复活
耶稣所行的每一件神迹都是令人惊叹的。每一个医治人的事件都是特别及美妙的。拉撒路从死里复活的神迹，确实是上帝的大能在耶稣生命里被荣耀地展现了。
“说了这话，就大声呼叫说：‘拉撒路出来！’ 那死人就出来了，手脚裹着布，脸上包着手巾。耶稣对他们说：‘解开，叫他走！’”
