When Jesus commanded Lazarus to rise from the dead, how did he obey that command? John 11:43 says, “Jesus cried out with a loud voice, ‘Lazarus, come forth!’” That was a command to a dead man. The next verse says, “He who had died came forth, bound hand and foot with wrappings.”

How did Lazarus do that? How does a dead man obey a command to live again?
