Why does a dead man need resurrection? to live
"Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice and come out--those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned."

john 11:25-26 "Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?”

When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along
with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled.

Well if we can keep law we have no need of Jesus.


how could you ever receive the holy spirit? where is the promise of eternal life in the law?

james 2:10 "For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it."


true if man was perfect, sadly we weren't and aren't, so Jesus came in Love taught us the words of eternal life, suffered and died, was raised from the dead and claimed all authority, therefore the law has no authority any longer, because Jesus has all of it. besides, do you stone your child if they curse you? because that is written in the law. do you keep all of the feasts and holy days in the law? do you sacrifice animals? the law is dead, Jesus put it to death on the cross, took all of its authority all its curses, and claimed Life for those who put their whole heart of Faith into Him. the law is death it is a jewish authority that has no life in it, all the life is in Christ

that's the shortes verse in the bible lol, but shows His compassion. do you suppose He wept for lazarus? or because no one was really believing Him in that story? I think myself, it is because of the lack of faith of the people, for surely Jesus knew he was about to raise lazarus to life
 
and after we get saved we still aint, we need the Cross


yep, but really, what we need is the man on the cross, not the cross itself. the cross is for our death, the resurrection for our life. the power is in Jesus. the altar is the Cross, Jesus is the blood, the life is in the blood of Jesus, and the blood of Jesus is our life

You must realize that when I say the Cross I am speaking of the work done on it and not the wooden beam.

you must understand the cross is a wooden beam, and the man who died on it is the same who walked out of the tomb He himself is what we need not only what He did for us, but Him. we do need the forgiveness He gave through His death, but we also need the life He gives to His followers in His words. we follow Jesus to the cross and we will follow him out of the tomb as well. we follow Him hes our leader.

He wept for our sorrow; all sorrow is caused by sin. It was (initially, in the garden with A&E) because of sin that death took hold. Mary believed He was the Messiah and that her brother would be raised at the resurrection... but Jesus had purposefully delayed His arrival so He could further demonstrate His mastery over death.

“Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up.”

His disciples replied, “Lord, if he sleeps, he will get better.” Jesus had been
speaking of his death, but his disciples thought he meant natural sleep.

So then he told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead, and for your sake I am glad
I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”

I understand and well stated, however if our faith is not in the work of the cross then we have failed. He had to go to the cross in order to walk out of the tomb.
 
:haha: as it is written

Mga Taga-Galacia: 6. 2. Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
3. For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.

4. But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.
5. For every man shall bear his own burden.
6. Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.

7. Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
8. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

9. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
10. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
