Lazarus is one of the most striking figures in the Gospel, not because of what he said, but because of what happened to him.
He was the brother of Martha and Mary and a close friend of Jesus. When Lazarus died and had already been in the tomb for four days, Jesus came to Bethany, saw the grief around Him, and tears fell. He then called Lazarus out of death and restored him to life. This moment, recorded in the Gospel of John, revealed Christ’s authority over death in the clearest way possible. People believed because Lazarus was standing there—alive.
Lazarus never delivers a speech. Scripture records no words from him after the miracle. His presence alone became the testimony.
That same miracle also placed him in danger. His restored life challenged those who opposed Jesus, making Lazarus himself a living sign that could not be ignored or explained away.
Saint Lazarus’ story shows that faith is not always expressed through words. Sometimes it is shown through a life changed, a life returned, a life pointing beyond itself toward resurrection and new life.
