We are all familiar with the story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead after being in the tomb for four days. The opportunity to have his story chronicled would have provided some evidence for nonbelievers of the afterlife. I believe that if that story would have been part of the bible, then our faith wouldn't be as strong. It is by faith that we have a relationship with God, not by knowing of events.
In a sense, every Christian that has accepted Jesus as their savior is Lazarus. We are changed into a new life with new hope. We were saved from an afterlife of trouble and turmoil and brought into the loving arms and grace of God.
Be Lazarus everyday for each day we have a new beginning.
