John 11:11-16
_ _ Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go that I may wake him out of sleep — Illustrious title! “Our friend Lazarus.” To Abraham only is it accorded in the Old Testament, and not till after his death, (2 Chronicles 20:7; Isaiah 41:8), to which our attention is called in the New Testament (James 2:23). When Jesus came in the flesh, His forerunner applied this name, in a certain sense, to himself (John 3:29); and into the same fellowship the Lord’s chosen disciples are declared to have come (John 15:13-15). “The phrase here employed, “our friend Lazarus,” means more than “he whom Thou lovest” in John 11:3, for it implies that Christ’s affection was reciprocated by Lazarus” [Lampe]. Our Lord had been told only that Lazarus was “sick.” But the change which his two days’ delay had produced is here tenderly alluded to. Doubtless, His spirit was all the while with His dying, and now dead “friend.” The symbol of “sleep” for death is common to all languages, and familiar to us in the Old Testament. In the New Testament, however, a higher meaning is put into it, in relation to believers in Jesus (see on 1 Thessalonians 4:14), a sense hinted at, and clearly, in Psalms 17:15 [Luthardt]; and the “awaking out of sleep” acquires a corresponding sense far transcending bare resuscitation. |
John 11:11
Our friend Lazarus sleepeth — This he spoke, just when he died. Sleepeth — Such is the death of good men in the language of heaven. But the disciples did not yet understand this language. And the slowness of our understanding makes the Scripture often descend to our barbarous manner of speaking. |
John 11:11
These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus (d) sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
(d) The Jews used a milder kind of speech and called death "sleep", and this same manner of speech is found in other languages, who call the place of burial where the dead are laid waiting for the resurrection a "sleeping place". |
