Testimony in Trials

After Lazarus was raised from the dead, the people started to follow him, as many wanted to see the man who Jesus raised from the dead. Because of Lazarus' living testimony, many of the followers became believers of Christ. In John 12:10-11, the apostle recalls that "the chief priests planned to put Lazarus to death also; because on account of him many of the Jews were going away and were believing in Jesus." Lazarus was aware that others were plotting to kill him, and was not afraid because he had already overcome it, and lived his testimony so that others followed Christ; he was able to evangelize to others without saying a word, just by living his life.
