Resurrection
Lazarus, Come Forth! The Seventh Sign and the Defeat of Death (John 11:38–44)
Standing before the tomb of Lazarus, Jesus commands the stone to be removed. Then, with a single command, He calls a dead man back to life. This climactic seventh sign reveals Jesus as the Lord over death and points directly toward His own resurrection.
Martha’s Faith and the Resurrection and the Life (John 11:17–27)
