You are there when your body is buried in the damp, everlasting darkness, and begins to mingle with the earth.

Your poor soul gathers itself together to utter a cry for help, but your breast is dead, your throat is dead.

And in this agony of death, which never ceases, a man comes by, lays his hand on your head, and says, 'Lazarus, get up!' and your pulse begins to beat, and your limbs grow warm again, and you get up and live! And live! Do you know what it means--live ?"

Now this family of Bethany had sent to Jerusalem and invited the Master to go to their house with two of His travelling companions in order that He might repose Himself after His long wanderings in homelike security.

Jesus thought it was time to leave the city for a little, and accepted the invitation.

His disciples were sorry.
