Everything
is moving on towards Christ's death and resurrection. On His way to the
Cross, Jesus performs a mighty miracle - the raising of Lazarus (43-44)
- which points unmistakably to an even greater miracle - His own
resurrection (Acts 2:24). Accompanying this miracle - the raising of
Lazarus - , we have Jesus' great declaration concerning Himself: 'I am
the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me, though he die, yet
shall he live, and whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die'
(25). His words are immediately followed by the question: 'Do you
believe this?' (26). This question is put to each of us. Jesus waits for
the answer of faith: 'Yes, Lord I believe that You are the Christ, the
Son of the living God...'(27). This is 'for the glory of God' -
receiving new life from 'the Son of God...' (4).
