Why was Lazarus the only person Jesus raised from the grave?

Jesus was not following His plan He was following the Fathers plan... the end of the book of John says: that all of the miracles that Jesus performed would; if they were written down; the whole world could not contain them. \nLazarus was part of Gods plan... part of the ministry teachings that Jesus did on the earth, and God knew that it would still be relevant today. \n\n\nJohn the baptist was killed for preaching the word of God. Why would Jesus want to take away Johns Glorious place in heaven.

That's what sets Jesus apart from all of the other religious leaders who have come forth in history. Buddha and Mohamed are dead and buried. But Jesus proved that He was really the Son of God in a dramatic way by first allowing Himself to be killed to atone for our sins and then by being raised from the dead and seen by over 500 witnesses before ascending into Heaven in front of 12 people.\n\nhttp://web.express56.com/~bromar/

When he arose from the grave, He went to His disciples and they touched the scars on His hands. To me, I guess that means He was a human body. When he ascended to heaven, He was probably a man then too..not just a spirit. Don't take my word for it though. Just believe He died for you. :)

Anything is possible since Jesus (pbah) was just a  man with a massage. All of the Prophets brought messages and had children why not Jesus (pbah)

Jesus is included in other historical documents than just the Bible.  I personally have read about Him in Josephus.  And yes, He is the Christ.  How many people do you know of that would die for a lie?  ALL of the disciples except one died for saying that Jesus is the Christ.

So many opinions. The only one that counts is what the Bible says on the matter.\nResurrection means ' a standing up'. To stand up requires a fleshly body. God gave Jesus a new body after three days. Jesus then lived with his disciples, on the earth, even eating and drinking,[Luke 24;42] for another forty days. Then God returned Jesus back to heaven, as a spiritual being. Flesh and blood bodies cannot exist in heaven. \n(1 Corinthians 15:50) However, this I say, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit God’s kingdom, neither does corruption inherit incorruption.\n\nJesus' second fleshly body was apparently somehow disposed of by God himself , and was never found. It MUST have been fleshly, otherwise Jesus would not have been able to share food and drink. It was not JUST an image that people could see.\nAs far as Jesus returning, he already has, through his influence. Jesus himself is now King of the Kingdom prayed for at Mathhew 6;9,10, the Lord's Prayer, and his earthly subjects obey his commands. When Armageddon occurs, they will fully benefit. There is simply no point in Jesus returning to the earth a second time. He has already taught us all we need to know. His return is signified by obedience of a group of people who obey him implicitly and will be protected at Armageddon. \n\n(Luke 17:31-35) “On that day let the person that is on the housetop but whose movable things are in the house not come down to pick these up, and the person out in the field, let him likewise not return to the things behind. 32 REMEMBER the wife of Lot. 33 Whoever seeks to keep his soul safe for himself will lose it, but whoever loses it will preserve it alive. 34 I tell YOU, In that night two [men] will be in one bed; the one will be taken along, but the other will be abandoned. 35 There will be two [women] grinding at the same mill; the one will be taken along, but the other will be abandoned.”\n\n(Matthew 24:40-42) Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken along and the other be abandoned; 41 two women will be grinding at the hand mill: one will be taken along and the other be abandoned. 42 Keep on the watch, therefore, because YOU do not know on what day YOUR Lord is coming.

Exactly.  Why did Jesus HAVE to die?  Why was it necessary?  Why did God set that rule?  God could've just as easily said "Jesus, if you pick that daisy over there, you will become the redeemer of mankind".  It could've been that easy.  But no.  God had to REQUIRE that his only son let himself be killed in a brutal, excruciating way.

Joseph of Arimathea, according to the Gospels, was the man who donated his own prepared tomb for the burial of Jesus after his crucifixion. A native of Arimathea, he was apparently a man of wealth, and a member of the Sanhedrin. \nJoseph was an "honourable counsellor, who waited for the kingdom of God" (Mark, 15:43). As soon as he heard the news of Jesus' death, he went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.\n\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_of_Arimathea

Definetly Jesus/ God, there is no other person worth it. He created heaven so that we could be with him not his desciples and those he used to do his work.

That a very good question. God did indeed pick her to have his only son Jesus, but the bible also states that we are to love Jesus with all our heart, souls and mind. Yes she was a important person but so was his diciples and Apostals, but we are suppose to only pray to Jesus Christ which is God and the Holy Ghost.

Jesus DID say "whatever you ask for in my name, you will be given" and nowhere in the Bible did anyone ever speak (pray) to someone who was dead, Saint or otherwise. Jesus is not dead so we are as free to speak to Him as when He walked the earth... Mary and the Apostles all died, none rose from the dead so we cannot speak to them. Prayer is a form of worship and is restricted to God/Jesus

There are a lot of voices vying for our attention, so why should anyone consider Jesus above, say, Muhammad or Confucius, Buddha, or Charles Taze Russell, or Joseph Smith? After all, don't all roads lead to Heaven? Aren't all religions basically the same? The truth is all religions do not lead to Heaven just as all roads do not lead to Indiana.\n\n \n\nJesus alone speaks with the authority of God because Jesus alone conquered death. Muhammad, Confucius, and the others molder in their graves to this very day, but Jesus, by His own power, walked away from the tomb three days after dying on a cruel Roman cross. Anyone with power over death deserves our attention. Anyone with power over death deserves to be heard.\n\n \n\nThe evidence supporting the resurrection of Jesus is overwhelming. First, there were over five hundred eye-witnesses of the risen Christ! That is a lot of eye-witnesses. Five hundred voices cannot be ignored. There is also the matter of the empty tomb; the enemies of Jesus could have easily stopped all talk of the resurrection by producing His dead, decaying body, but there was no dead body for them to produce! The tomb was empty! Could the disciples have stolen His body? Hardly. To prevent such a contingency, the tomb of Jesus had been heavily guarded by armed soldiers. Considering His closest followers had fled in fear at His arrest and crucifixion, it is most unlikely this ragtag band of frightened fishermen would have gone head to head against trained, professional soldiers. The simple fact is that the resurrection of Jesus cannot be explained away!

I'd like to add to your question.  The fact the Jesus (peace be upon him) was supposedly resurrected, doesn't that negate the fact that he died ??  I mean, if he's alive in Heaven, then he is not really dead for our sins.  I'm confused...
