Who are the children of God who are scattered abroad?

The children of God are those who believe and witness for Christ "Acts 1 Vs 8". The children of God are given power to witness and to become God's chosen generation , layal priest of the lord " John 1 Vs 12". IF we follow the example of the early Church in the of "ACTS", we see the believers being persecuted and after the death of Stephen "Acts 8", the believers were scattered and Philip was found in Samaria (Abroad) preaching the good news of Christ Jesus. Even in the book of Isiah, we learn that the Jews were taken in exiel in Babilonia, the Israelite were sacattered because of disobeying the will of God. Glory to God for He has made it possible that the Jews , Gentiles , eunucs, Samaritan same in His eyes. Let us allow the Holy Spirit to impower us to preach the gospel to the outer parts of the world. " MATHEW 28 Vs 19-20".

Why did Jesus equate raising Lazarus from the dead with "seeing the glory of God"?

This was like that because when Jesus groaned in prayer to God the father, God the father listened to Him. When the glory of the Lord was seen, Jesus knew that the time has come to raise Lazarus from the dead so that the multitude at this point in time should see the power of Jesus over death and that there is nothing which Jesus can not do. Jesus also wanted the multitude to believe that He is the son of the living God. By Jesus' groaning and shouting in prayer for Lazarus to come out of the grave and let him go, I have learnt that even us , we can pray with groaning to God for our needs, God will listen to us as He did to Jesus.

What did Jesus mean when He said one can live even if he dies? Bonus question: Why did Jesus weep when He knew He would raise Lazarus?

Jesus meant that He is the ressurection and life which also means that "to all who believe, there is life after death". Jesus died and rose from the dead which means that He has power over death. The isse here is faith in Jesus, when we have faith in Jesus He will provide life to us in its fulness " John 10 Vs 10". WHY DID JESUS WEEP WHEN HE KNEW HE WOULD RAISE LAZARUS? Jesus wept because the Jews did not believe that He is God who has power over death. Jesus prayed that the will of God should be done. He groaned because He felt compassion and mercy upon the unbelief people among Him. Jesus wanted the glory of God to come.
