What do you think of John 11:23-27?
What do you think of John 11:23-27?
Don't forget that this was not a true resurrection, as Lazarus truly died a second time later. According to tradition, it was on Crete.Lazarus had died. Martha's statement was because she knew Lazarus would rest in the grave until the last day (return of Jesus) and then be resurrected .... what she didn't know (at that point) that Jesus was going to resurrect Lazarus before (His return/before the last day);
so it will be with all believers who die the earthly death ... rest in the grave and will be resurrected at His return and will live again ... for eternity ;o)
There were also others who were resurrected when He rose.
Matthew 27:52
"52The tombs broke open, and the bodies of many saints who had fallen asleep were raised."

The event of John 10 is a mere temporary resuscitation.
The verse referenced happened immediately after "He yielded up His Spirit (Christs death).
Resurrection or anastasis is the concept of coming back to life after death.
Wasn't resurrected unto eternity ... but brought back from the dead (raised up - brought back to life) none the less. He was truly dead ... so a true resurrected (raised up - brought back to life). temporary resuscitation after several days? That description doesn't really seem to describe it accurately. Woke up from his sleep ... as Jesus described ... yet He did also say Lazarus is dead ... no matter Jesus performed a miracle and brought him back to life. ;o)
*Correction, when the veil in the temple was torn, they were raised.
