INTRODUCTION:
Jesus comes to the aid of his friends. He received an urgent message from Martha and Mary that their brother Lazarus was dead. Yet He delays in going to teach the people that nothing is impossible to God. Jesus and the apostles arrive four (4) days later and seeing the two sisters in sorrow, assures them that all is well. He calls Lazarus from the dead and many people came to believe in God.
PRAYER:
Lord Jesus, you raised Lazarus from death as a sign that you have come to give life to all. Save me from the death of sin and from slavery to sin, so that I can live with you and you in me. Amen.
WHAT TO DO (ACTION):
No matter your situation, believe in Jesus and trust him fully.
QUESTIONS:
- Who is Lazarus and what is the name of their village?
- Why did Lazarus sisters send for Jesus?
- Who said: “I know that even now whatever you ask of God, He will grant you”?
- Who said: “Lord, if you had been here my brother would not have died?
- How do you think Martha and Mary reacted when they saw their brother alive?
