Raising Lazarus from the dead was truly one of the many spectacular miracles of Jesus' ministry. What is even more interesting is that if Jesus were to raise Lazarus from the dead within 3 days of his burial, some could've claimed that Lazarus wasn't entirely dead. For in those days, the common belief was only after 4 days of burial could one be legitimately declared as dead. So this miracle was even more miraculous, because Lazarus was in the tomb for 4 days. This miracle also displayed the power and authority Jesus had-power over life and death.
