Wells of Living Water Commentary - John 11:1-44

The Raising of Lazarus John 11:1-44 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. Some ideas concerning the cause of sickness. (1) The ancients thought that sickness was the result of sin. The Book of Job goes into detail concerning the sickness and suffering of one of God's greatest men. When Job's three friends heard that he was sick they came to comfort him. However, poor comfort they proved to be. Each of them proclaimed three discourses condemning Job. In each of these discourses, the wise men of the East... read more

Sickness, Death, and Resurrection John 11:3-43 INTRODUCTORY WORDS The resurrection of Christ is the usual message of Easter. However, we must remember that indissolubly linked with the resurrection of our Lord is the resurrection of all of His saints. It is also well for us to remember that sickness and death are also linked with the resurrection. Sickness and the collapse of the physical man leads to death, and the resurrection is the glorious conquest over the reign of death. 1. The story... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - John 11:25

THE MOURNER’S HOPE‘I am the Resurrection, and the Life.’ John 11:25 Our Church has chosen these words of comfort and of hope to be the very first to be sounded in the ears of Christian mourners as they bring some well-loved form to the churchyard—‘the garden of the dead.’ Before the lifeless body is committed to the ground and hidden from sight the souls of sorrowing survivors are strengthened for the bitter separation by the cheering promise of an Almighty Saviour. I. The promise... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 11:25-26

‘Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life, he who believes in me, though he may die, yet shall he live, and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” ’ In her mind Martha was thinking of the last day. But Jesus now brings the idea of the resurrection much closer to home. He wants it to be known that it is not just a hope of something for the future but a certainty for the present. He who stands before her is both the lifegiver now, and the future... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - John 11:1-44

John 11. The Raising of Lazaras. John 11:1-Acts : . The Miracle.— The withdrawal to Peræ a is brought to a sudden end by the illness of Jesus’ friend Lazarus. Bethany, to distinguish it from the Bethany beyond Jordan ( John 1:28), is described as the home of Mary and Martha, the younger sister being the better known in Christian tradition as the woman who anointed the Lord. The author assumes knowledge of the story, which he does not relate till a subsequent chapter. The sisters send to tell... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - John 11:25

Martha by her speech seemed not to have a true notion of Christ; she believed that there should be a general resurrection from the dead in the last day, by the mighty power of God, but she did not truly understand what influence Christ had upon this resurrection, that the raising of the dead should be the peculiar work of Christ, not without the Father, but as he was ordained by the Father to be the Judge of the quick and of the dead. Christ doth therefore here further instruct her, and tell... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - John 11:26

He had before proved himself to be the resurrection, now he proveth himself to be the life. He saith, he that liveth, that liveth a natural life, if he be one who receiveth and embraces me as the true Messiah and Saviour of the world, and committeth himself and all the concerns of his soul to me, shall never die. Though his body shall die because of sin, yet his spirit shall live because of righteousness; and God shall in the great day quicken again his mortal body, through the Holy Spirit... read more

EXPLANATORY AND CRITICAL NOTESTHE RAISING OF LAZARUSJohn 11:1-2. The various theories as to the reason why this great miracle is not recorded by the other Evangelists need not be fully discussed in this commentary, nor the rationalistic theories which seek to explain it away.

Sermon Bible Commentary - John 11:1-57

John 11:0 In selecting this word we are struck with the frequency of its occurrence in this chapter. There is: I. The "If" of wisdom. Jesus answered "If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not." The Lord is laying down a great philosophy of work, he is indicating that there are times and seasons for labour; and that not only is work to be done, but done at the proper time the light for labour, the darkness for rest. II. The "If" of hope shadowed by fear. "Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well."... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - John 11:25

John 11:25 This Divine name is a pledge to us of many joys; but chiefly of three Divine gifts. I. The first is a perfect newness of body and soul. This is a thought of wonder almost beyond conception or belief. Death and the forerunners of death have so fast a hold upon the body; sin and the soils of sin pierce so deep into the soul, that the thought to be one day deathless and sinless seems to be a dream. People believe, indeed, that they shall rise again, not disembodied, but clothed in a... read more
