Lazarus would have had a microphone shoved in his face and asked almost immediately, “So how do you feel?”, followed by “What was it like?”, and “Where did you go?”. We don’t know how long he lived, whether his wife was ‘drop-dead’ gorgeous, or whether he had ever heard the word YOLO (you only live once).īut can you imagine if something like this happened today. Not his first word after being raised, or even his last word, assuming that he died again at some later point. John, who wrote the book, and essentially reported on all these things, didn’t record a single thing that was said by Lazarus. Not a word from Lazarus, nor a question to Lazarus. Jesus said to them, ‘Unbind him, and let him go’.” John 11:44 The man who had died came out, his hands and feet bound with linen strips, and his face wrapped with a cloth. “When he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice ‘Lazarus, come out’. His sisters, Mary and Martha, initially thought Jesus had made a grave mistake in taking so long to get there, but were obviously pretty happy with the end result.Īnd here’s what the Bible records Lazarus saying: And despite being dead for 4 days, that friend raised him to life again. It’s a simple story of a guy who was sick and died, but had a good friend who just happened to be the Son of God.
One person who was dead for four days before he came back to life – and that person is Lazarus. One person, who wasn’t resurrected, but resuscitated.
Of course the whole of Christianity is based on one of these stories, which is what Christians celebrate at Easter – Jesus, who died to defeat death, only to rise again.īut there was another person who knew. The person usually writes a book about it and describes how they floated out of or above their own body, or the more clichéd version of seeing a light at the end of a long tunnel. You know the stories, where someone has been pronounced dead, but they come back to life. Everyone wants to know.īut have you ever heard, or read about a near death experience. Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Atheist, Agnostic and all the rest. What happens after death? It’s a question everyone has pondered.
