Q:
What happened to Lazarus, who
was raised from the dead, after Jesus
was crucified?
A : We
are told very little about Lazarus after his resurrection. We know
that soon after his resurrection he continued to be a pain to the chief
priests and scribes. People came to see him (John
12:9) and were
converted because of his testimony. The priests even considered having
Lazarus put to death because of his influence (John
12:10-11). However,
there is no indication that anything came of this threat.
What about after this? Did Lazarus die again? Certainly, he did. We do
not know when and we do not know the circumstances, but we can rest
assured that his time to die came. When he died, his body was surely
put
in the ground to await the resurrection while his soul and spirit went
to
be with God to await the return of Christ. There is no reason to think
that he was any different from the rest of us. Thank you for the
question.
Till He comes,
Pastor David Reagan
