divinity flashes through humanity.
In His face,
which is lighted up by the glory of God,
the people see the assurance of His power.
There is a stir in the silent tomb,
and he who was dead stands at the door of the sepulcher.
His movements are impeded by the graveclothes in which he was laid away,
and Christ says to the astonished spectators, "Loose him, and let him go."
Lazarus is set free,
and stands before the company,
not as one emaciated from disease,
and with feeble, tottering limbs,
but as a man in the prime of life, and in the vigor of a noble manhood."

In His face,

the people see the assurance of His power.
Every eye is fastened on the entrance to the cave.

Again they are shown that the human worker is to co-operate with God.
Humanity is to work for humanity.
Lazarus is set free,
and stands before the company,
not as one emaciated from disease,
and with feeble, tottering limbs,
but as a man in the prime of life, and in the vigor of a noble manhood."
