Editor’s note: This is a reprinted column from Jack Purcell’s “On the Journey” archives. It originally appeared in The Star in 2013.
The term “Come forth” is found many places in the Bible, but maybe none quite as striking as that found in John 11:43 where Jesus “cried with a loud voice, ‘Lazarus, come forth.’”
On this occasion Jesus raised his good friend Lazarus from four days in the grave with a mere command. A rather remarkable miracle, wouldn’t you say?
