Lazarus, Hope of Resurrection

John 12:9-11 
9 Now a great many of the Jews knew that He was there; and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might also see Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead. 10 But the chief priests plotted to put Lazarus to death also, 11 because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.

While coming together to celebrate the week of Passover, Jesus sat with Lazarus - many came to see a dead man and the one who brought him back to life after being dead 4 days. The religious leaders looked for ways to kill the evidence as well as Jesus for claiming to be God and ruining their religious system with its power and control over others.  So others like Hus were killed for revealing the truth of Christ and His work to justify us by faith alone. But we fight the good fight.
