     | 2,404 views

    Through the power of God, Lazarus was brought back to life after being dead for days. Let us explore five key points from this miraculous story and discover how they relate to us spiritually.

    Point 1: The Power of God's Timing (John 11:6) In the story of Lazarus, we witness Jesus deliberately delaying His arrival to the scene.

    False teachers are reckless and do not fear the consequences of their behavior. For some, ethics mean nothing to them.
