Matthew 9:18-25
While He was saying these things to them, behold, there came a synagogue official, and bowed
down before Him, saying, "My daughter has just died; but come and lay Your hand on her, and
she will live." And Jesus rose and began to follow him, and so did His disciples... And when
Yahshua came into the official's house, and saw the flute-players, and the crowd in noisy
disorder, He began to say, "Depart; for the girl has not died, but is asleep." And they began
laughing at Him. But when the crowd had been put out, He entered and took her by the hand; and
the girl arose.

Luke 7:11-15
And it came about soon afterwards, that He went to a city called Nain; and His disciples were
going along with Him, accompanied by a large multitude. Now as He approached the gate of the
city, behold, a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow;
and a sizeable crowd from the city was with her. And when the Lord saw her, He felt compassion
for her, and said to her, "Do not weep." And He came up and touched the coffin; and the bearers
came to a halt. And He said, "Young man, I say to you, arise!" And the dead man sat up, and
began to speak. And Yahshua gave him back to his mother.

The story of Lazarus being raised from the dead is also very familiar to Christians. In these
experiences we see that the essence of the nature of God is life. That which God touches is
imbued with life.

John 5:26
For just as the Father has life in Himself, even so He gave to the Son also to have life in
Himself...

John 14:6
Yahshua said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life...”

Hebrews 7:16
[Yahshua] has been constituted a Priest, not on the basis of a bodily legal requirement, an
externally imposed command concerning His physical ancestry, but on the basis of the power of
an... indestructible Life.
[Amplified Bible]
