Unusual Question About Resurrection

<< < (4/4)

ZekeSr:
I thought twice about interjecting what I’m about to say, but, for the purpose of illustration, I believe it to be pertinent to the original question. About 30 years ago, I was a maintenance man in a fairly large YMCA that had rental rooms on one of the upper floors. On a Monday morning, I was asked to go upstairs and track down a foul odor. To make a long story short, I had the hapless mission of locating an individual who had hung himself in the closet of his room. It was determined that he had most likely accomplished his grisly task on Friday night. So, it was not quite three days. And yet, the process of decomposition had already taken him to the point where I did not recognize this person—a person with whom I was quite familiar. Even though I knew whose room it was, I thought it was someone I did not know.
That experience, and this discussion, has made me think about the raising of Lazarus from the dead after four days. I can only imagine his condition. There is even mention of the stench. The act of Jesus raising a rotting Lazarus back to mortal life and health was a true miracle of resurrection. There is nothing in medicine that can even be compared.
