So, from the perspective of Spiritual Science, we ourselves have penetrated such a wonderful event — wonderful only for those who cannot explain it — such a wonderful event as the miracle of Lazarus. All this is revealed to you in the miracle of Lazarus, if only you have the light that falls on it through the words: His illness is not unto death, but unto the revelation of the inner self. When these abilities are awakened in human beings, it is like a birth. Just as a child emerges from the womb, so the higher is born from the lower human being. Thus, Lazarus' illness is connected with the birth of new life, the God-human, so that the divine human being is born in the physical human being, in Lazarus.
