Lazarus

He is an old man now. Facing death, but not fearing it. Why? “Been there, done that!” is his reply. He remembers well the events that led up to his death as a young man, then remembers hearing the voice of his Friend, Jesus, calling him to come out of the tomb to live again. So, now, death holds no fear for him. He can merely smile at it and listen again for the voice of Jesus, his Friend. Theme: Overcoming fears.
