Lazarus

Lazarus

Lazarus, one of Jesus’ close friends and the brother of Mary and Martha, was dying. As they sat by their brother, they sent word for Jesus to come at once to visit His friend. When Jesus finally arrived in Bethany, Lazarus had been dead for four days. But this could not stop what God had planned for that day. Jesus comforted Lazarus’ sisters and went to the tomb of His friend. Then after having the stone rolled away, He called for Lazarus…and Lazarus came out of the tomb.

John 11:43
In our last episode, we discovered the importance of gratitude through Jesus’ healing of the ten lepers. Although He healed all ten men, only one returned to give thanks – and as a result that man experienced a deeper, spiritual restoration. We also heard Jesus’ teachings on prayer – both about the value of persistence in prayer and the importance of humility when we approach God in prayer. Today we’ll hear how Jesus experiences grief when his dear friend Lazarus dies. But through this time of sorrow, Jesus will demonstrate his power over death as he commands his friend to live again.
