Abstract

The narrative of the resurrection of Lazarus by Jesus in John 11:1-57, especially Jesus' dialogue with his disciples and Martha, the sister of Lazarus (John 11:1-44), delineates several issues that provide ample platform for discussing the implications of death and resurrection for the mission of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Africa, from a biblical-anthropological perspective. Consequently, utilizing a contextual-exegetical approach, the purpose of this paper is three-fold. First, it undertakes the exegesis of John 11:1-57in the effort to delineate the biblical teachings on the state of the dead in the passage and the significance of resurrection as the hope for the dead in Christ. Second, it discusses the beliefs and practices associated with the state of the dead in some parts of Africa, identifying their implications for Adventist missions. Third, it makes recommendations toward enhancing the Adventist mission in Africa.
