«I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, though he may die, he shall live.» John 11:25
Jesus had three friends and He loved them very much: Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. They lived in Bethany. Jesus always went to Bethany and stayed at their house.
One day, Lazarus’s sisters sent word to Jesus that His friend Lazarus was sick and two days later, he died.
When Jesus arrived at the house of His friends, Lazarus had already been buried for four days. His sisters cried a lot.
Jesus cried too.
Then Jesus walked to the cave where Lazarus was buried. Some men rolled away the stone at the entrance. He called out: “Lazarus, come out!”
Lazarus rose from the tomb and came out. Everyone was surprised and happy, because Jesus had raised him from the dead! This will also happen when Jesus returns!
Let’s practice!
Repeat the verse: I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, though he may die, he shall live. John 11:25
