Lazarus in the Bible: John:11.1-44
There's a lot packed into this famous story of Lazarus' resurrection. It's one of Jesus' best-known miracles. But it's also a striking reminder that while God works all things for the best, He doesn't always do it according to the schedules we expect. Jesus' followers had given up hope after Lazarus' death, but Jesus had a plan to glorify God and heal Lazarus in a more spectacular way than anyone expected.

It is more of the proof that death was conquered on the death and resurrection of the Lord. And He made a display of this to the rulers of the age that death is conquered and they were made powerless by Him. As believers are united with Him in His death and made partners in the new covenant in His blood we too do proclaim that death has no mastery over us anymore. though we may die we also shall live. This sign was done as well as the other signs in the presence of the disciples and for us to know so that we may believe that Jesus is the Son of God and that by believing we may have in His name. John 20:31
Miracles cited in the gospel have lot more meaning for application in our lives. It is not simply to prove the divinity of Jesus.
Each miracle has application in spiritual and physical life. The reader has to reflect on it.Most Christians do believe that Jesus is divine and human.It is for the reader to reflect and find out what is the aspect of the divine that “resurrects” human life into productivity. That is what Jesus wanted humanity to do. To go beyond doctrines and live a “new” life of resurrection. Resurrection is a part of life. Without the divine touch the human being is “dead” or less productive. Let the miracles of the gospel invigorate human life beyond a particular doctrine (which could vary according to the interpretator’s vision and the organized churche’s stand in the framework of orthodoxy)
