![]() Through this passage of words I saw that when the Lord Jesus worked and appeared to man two thousand years ago, nobody knew who He was. And he that was dead came forth.’ When the Lord Jesus did this, He said just one thing: ‘Lazarus, come forth.’ Lazarus then came out from his tomb-this was accomplished because of a single line uttered by the Lord” (“God’s Work, God’s Disposition, and God Himself III”). ![]() So then, could the resurrection of Lazarus prove the Lord Jesus’ identity? Let’s look at this passage of scripture: ‘And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. This proved His authority and His identity. He didn’t do things indiscriminately He looked for the right time, and the right opportunity to do something most meaningful for mankind to see. He could do something anywhere, anytime to prove His identity and essence, but God did things with a plan, and in steps. Could God do something to prove His own identity? For God, this was a breeze-it was a piece of cake. Too many people wanted proof of this thing, and to know the truth. Even if some people saw and understood some of His character or some strengths that He appeared to have, no one knew where the Lord Jesus came from, who His essence truly was, and what more He really could do. Because God had become flesh, people could only see His physical appearance, His practical side, and His insignificant side.

Lazarus’ Resurrection Proved That the Lord Jesus Was the Incarnate God Himself It was not until once I read some words in a book that the doubt in my heart was resolved. What are the intentions of God behind this matter? This question puzzled me for a long time. Jesus said to them, Loose him, and let him go.” After reading this passage of scripture, I thought that at that time Lazarus had already been dead for four days, and maybe his body had started to smell, but just one word from the Lord Jesus raised him from the dead. And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave clothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. None of these miracles doesn’t show forth the authority of God.īut when I read chapter 11, verses 43-44 of the Gospel of John, “And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. He not only bestowed compassion and tolerance upon us, teaching us to be tolerant and patient and to repent and confess, but also manifested many miracles, such as, letting the blind see and the lame walk, healing the lepers, feeding five thousand with five loaves of bread and two fish, raising Lazarus to life, and so on. ![]() Each of our brothers and sisters who believes in the Lord Jesus knows that the Lord Jesus did the work of redeeming humanity in the Age of Grace. ![]()
