Jesus said to them, 'Take off the grave clothes and let him go'" (John 11:43-44). As expected, Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead was the talk of the town.

But now what- Is Jesus going to do clean up work now- Will he disentangle Lazarus' grave clothes, tidy up the tomb and put the stone back- No. He says, "Unwrap him and let him go." That's all.

In May I got a new appreciation for the Bible story of Lazarus (John 11: 43-44). Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with ...

Lazarus. After all, it was his grave. And, someday, he would need it again. The Rev. Russell G. Waldrop, D. Min., LPC, is a pastoral counselor and is chaplain of Western State Hospital.
