Pope Shenouda III
The Lord Jesus Christ gave life when He raised the dead. The Holy Bible mentions three miracles pertaining to this point:
(a) (Mk. 5:22,35-42): The raising of Jairus's daughter. She was lying dead on her bed in the house, and her relatives were weeping and wailing.
(b) (Lk. 7:11-17): The raising of the son of the widow of Nain. He was being carried in the coffin on the way to the tomb and around him were great crowds of the people of the city.
(c) (Jn. 11): The raising of Lazarus four days after his death. He was buried in the tomb and his sister said that there was a stench.
The important point in these three miracles is that they were performed by Christ's order, which denotes His Divinity and that He is the Giver of life. We will talk about this point in detail when we tackle the proof of Christ's Divinity with respect to His miracles.
