The "Lazarus" Dilema

As long as I'm offending all my Christian friends, including most of my own family, I need to ask about Lazarus. My questions is: whatever happened to him? Help me out, here. Is Lazarus still alive today? Or did Jesus raise him from the dead, and then bump him off sometime later, after his public relations value had diminished? And if the latter is the case, then it raises this question. How much Godly compassion is shown when you make a man die twice? You see my confusion here?
