John 11 tells the story of Jesus declaring: "I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live. . ." In raising Lazarus from death - Jesus gives a sign of his authority over life and even death. And he provokes the wrath of the authorities who gather the Sanhedrin and together they conclude that Jesus needs to be put to death. So in saving his friend, Jesus condemns himself. Jesus taking our place in death so that we could receive his resurrection life. How do you react to that knowledge?
