  • From Matthew Henry's Commentary.

In the light of his own resurrection they mean that when he burst open the tomb he did it for humanity and in him humanity has won the victory over death."

    • "The work of Jesus is to bring life; the work of the congregation is to unbind people from the trappings of death.  The words that Christ speaks are so full; he literally tells the ‘congregation’; 'Destroy what holds him down. Send him forth free.'"
  • Exegetical Notes (All Saints B), By Brian Stoffregen at CrossMarks Christian Resources.
    • "This text illustrates that our sainthood comes solely through the power of God. Dead Lazarus could do nothing for himself (or for God). He could only passively receive the new life God gave him."

    • "If God is God at all, He is God of all. It is impossible for God to be God and not to be responsible (ultimately) for all that occurs. By this I do not mean to say that God is the source of all evil, but that God is responsible for including the existence of evil, tragedy, and suffering in His plan."

  • "The Meaning of Vocation," A.J. Conyers, (other resources at) "Vocation," Christian Reflection, The Center for Christian Ethics at Baylor University, 2004.

    • "Once we start to pull back the veil, we notice numerous instances of hiding-revealing, secrecy, ambiguity and even lying. The following is an attempt to catalogue the primary and related instances of secrecy and "information control" in the document."
  • "Spirituality and the Avoidant Personality," L. Rebecca Propst, Lewis and Clark College. Theology Today, 1992.
    • "Dorothee Soelle in her critique of post-Christian apathy states that we are so dominated by the goal of avoiding suffering that we wall out the world and assume we have a God who does the same. But pain can be good if it furthers the process of its own abolition."
  • "Women and Conflict," Pamela Cooper-White at The Living Pulpit.
    • "Women often avoid disagreement in order to preserve relationship, but often at the expense of their own truth and sometimes their safety as well."
  • "Households of Faith," Dr. Mary Coloe, Pacifica, 2000.
  • "The Promise of Life in the Gospel of John," Paul S. Minear, Yale University. Theology Today, 1993.
    • "We are now in a position to resolve the apparent contradiction in the two promises given by Jesus to Martha. As the life, Jesus promised believers that they would never die; as the resurrection, he indicated the kind of dying that would lead to resurrection. The death from which believers were promised immunity was the death in sin.... Those who live 'in Christ' will never suffer that death. The death that followers of Christ would die was another thing entirely."
