Jesus raised them from the dead to give glory to God and show his mighty power and love.
Jesus' death and resurrection however had a much greater purpose. John 3:16 says that "For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life" so a lot depended on Jesus fulfilling this sacrifice. And he, and other prophets prophesied that it would happen.
the birth of Jesus, the death of Jesus, and the rising of Jesus!
Jesus was born in Bethlehem. He was raised in Nazareth and He died in Jerusalem.
NO The Bible records a number of instances where people were raised to life. 1. Elijah raised to life the son of the widow who helped feed him during the famine. 2. The prophet Elisha raised the son of the Shunamite woman who had died. 3. Jesus raised the son of the widow at Nain. 4. Jesus raised Lazarus after his being dead for over three days. 5. Jesus raised Jairus' daughter. 6. Peter raised Dorcas from the dead. 7. Paul brought Eutychus back to life. All of these were witnessed by people other than those directly involved -particularly the New Testament ones (numbers 3-7). The New Testament ones were particularly public. The son of the widow at Nain was raised out of the coffin during the funeral procession. Many Jews had seen Lazarus buried and also saw him raised four days later. In relation to Lazarus, it is specifically mentioned that many people followed Jesus as a result of this miracle, so that Lazarus himself became a potential 'assassination target' for the jealous Jewish leaders. The difference between Jesus' rising from the dead and all the others is that there was no external human agent in Jesus' rising, and also in the fact that Jesus, unlike all the others, did not die again. Even further, Jesus predicted His own rising, while the others didn't. Jesus thus had power over death itself while the others needed to be raised by the power of God through either a prophet or apostle or through the act of God Himself in the case of those whom Jesus raised.
The Bible does not say who was raised from the dead first by Jesus. chickennnn !!!
Jesus performed many miracles, just one of them is when he raised Lazarus from the dead.
Jesus of Nazareth was raised in a Jewish home. Christianity was not formed until after Jesus' death and His resurrection.
There are certainly people in this world who still consider the teachings of Jesus to be important, and there are others who don't. On matters of religion, you get to make your own decisions.
The Christian holiday of Easter celebrates a proof of the resurrection by the discovery of an empty tomb from which Christ arose. So the resurrection preceded the "first day of the week" which is reported.
It's the day of when Jesus was buried. Not only is the day of when he was raised up important to Christians, but when he was buried.
Jesus introduced two important things:The forgiveness of sinsThe Golden Rule (Do unto others as you would have done unto you)
