When Jesus raised Lazarus, he had been away, then he came to the house of Lazarus days after Lazarus died. God worked in it to teach a lesson. His Son would be away for a while. We would die. He would then return. We must still believe despite this. The lesson was in how Jesus then called forth Lazarus. Lazarus, though dead, heard that voice of the Son of Man and life was given back to him and his flesh and blood given life. So he stepped out of his tomb, which Jesus had commanded be opened. This is the lesson from the Father. That same thing, the Father is testifying, will happen when Jesus Christ returns. The dead will hear his voice and those who hear will live. This lesson is for us water and food from heaven, The water is this word of the Father’s testimony. The food is to do the Father’s will by believing in this Jesus, the resurrection Jesus.
