Personally, I think that\u2019s more of a poetical take on this remarkable event than a realistic one.  Still, I understand the statement of faith in that concept.  This is an act of absolute authority over death.  Jesus doesn\u2019t even touch the dead body.  He, in fact, never enters the tomb.  From outside, after a public prayer, Jesus merely shouts out the command and Lazarus is resurrected.  I can\u2019t imagine any more powerful demonstration of authority over death than this one.  Well, almost.  Soon, an even more convincing event will take place.  For now though, I\u2019m happy to be reminded of this wonderful truth.  Any time Jesus faces death, Jesus wins.
