The Importance of Lazarus' Resurrection

After Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, that's when the Jewish leaders realize he's becoming too popular. The Romans are going to crush this movement. We're all going to be killed. It would be better to kill Jesus. Paul Lazarus has to die twice. One is not just the story of Lazarus' death to life, it's also the story of Jesus' life to death. So again, I always took chapter 11 on its own and then you set it off and this is the resurrection of the life saying.
