Now a great many of the Jews knew that He was there; and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might also see Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead. John 12:9
Four days in the tomb and a short mummy walk later, Lazarus the friend of Jesus has now become a public attraction. The man likely had dreamed of a bit of fame now and again as most of us have done. However, the way to fame in his dreams probably didn't include the way he got it. We do not then have to wonder why it seems that Lazarus had nothing to say after rising from the grave at His Lord's command. We can imagine the questions spoken or shouted at the man for the remainder of his life. Wait, what remainder, he was dead, he already had his remainder? Did Lazarus the new celebrity now have to face death again? Well so much for celebrity immortality.
Rejoice in Jesus, and trust Him for life!
