why didn't the apostles follow the example of jesus resurrecting Lazarus?

[t3gah]

In the new testament, Jesus is told his best friend and fellow Christian, Lazarus has died and then Jesus goes to the grave and resurrects him even though he's told that Lazarus has been dead for four days.

Why didn't the apostles pick up on this lesson to resurrect each other so that none would perish, which they all learned through Jesus example and through the works of their own hands throughout the gospel accounts of each doing in the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke & John?

And then a really important question but off topic is this: Why did everyone wait four days to tell Jesus that his best friend/disciple Lazarus had died?

Good question! And to add to this, in the Acts, (a) resurection(s) is(are) performed by the apostles...

Probably because they tried to patent the formula, but the patent office hadn't been invented yet.........:biglaugh: Are you really serious about this.

Christianity promotes such modesty
