John Crist shares his hilarious take on the story of Lazarus from Lazarus’s point of view. The comedian takes a different approach to the miracle of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead. Watch the short but hysterical clip to hear John’s take on Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead.

Jesus Christ knows and understands what it’s like to be human. He literally walked among us, teaching and preaching. He experienced hurt and heartache just like every other human being. But even though, at that time, He was fully human, He was still the Messiah, the one sent to save humanity from their sins.

During Christ’s time on Earth, he performed several miracles, which are recorded in the New Testament. One of those miracles involved raising Lazarus from the dead. Lazarus had been dead for four days at the time of Christ’s miracle. In a clip posted on YouTube, John looks at what Lazarus might have been doing right before being brought back to life.

John mentions how everyone was thrilled to have Lazarus back. It was a miracle, as Jesus had literally raised the dead. However, Lazarus had been dead for four days, and, according to John, he was likely busy in heaven right before being resurrected.

“Just up there decorating his mansion,” John said. ‘Ok, this is awesome! I can’t believe we’re finally here. This is great!’ He had a bum knee; he’s walking better, feeling good.”

Later in the clip, John imagines how it might have gone when Lazarus was informed that his time in heaven was ending and that he was returning to Earth.

“Excuse me, is Lazarus here?” John asks. “Yeah. Oh, man, listen, we don’t normally do this, but listen, we’ve got to send you back. Back to the Middle East with no air conditioning, sorry!”

Job 8:21 “The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.”
