Paper 168: The Resurrection of Lazarus
1. What do you think of the reasons given for Jesus' sorrow in resurrecting Lazarus?
2. Why do you think we were given a rather detailed description of Lazarus's resurrection?
3. Why is Jesus' greatest demonstration of divine power only recorded in the gospel of John?
4. Facing the fact of the resurrection of Lazarus and the resignation of fourteen of their members, what must have been in the minds of the remaining members of the Sanhedrin?
5. Why do orthodox beliefs have such a power over people?
6. Are the acceptance of Christian doctrines responsible for the almost complete indifference to the Fifth Epochal Revelation by Christian leaders after a half-century of exposure?
7. Will the knowledge that Spirit beings cannot give material answers to prayer change the way we pray?
8. Was the resurrection of Lazarus the result of Jesus' love for the Jewish leaders?
9. How does one explain the apparent foreknowledge of Lazarus's resurrection by the Personalized Adjuster of Jesus?
10. Does knowing that all spirit inspired prayers are answered increase the likelihood of our use of prayer?
