Mary, Martha and Lazarus were great friends with Jesus and whenever He visited them they loved to hear all that he had to say about His Father in heaven. Martha liked to make tea for Jesus and was often busy about the house. Mary and Lazarus on the other hand, always wanted to just sit and listen to all that Jesus had to say.

One day a few weeks before the very first Easter, Jesus was in a place called Jordan. Everywhere Jesus went crowds of people would gather to listen to Him talk about God’s great love for everyone. While Jesus was in Jordan, all was not well down in Bethany – Lazarus was ill.

SLIDE 5 In fact, Lazarus was very ill. Mary and Martha decided to send a messenger to Jesus to tell Him what had happened to Lazarus and to ask if He could come quickly.

When Jesus arrived in Bethany, Mary and Martha were weeping and very sad. Other friends who had come to comfort them were there too. Lazarus had died and they were mourning for him. “If only you had been here” said Mary and Martha “our brother wouldn’t have died.” Jesus cried with the sisters too. He cares about all that happens to us whether we are happy or sad, He understands how we feel.

SLIDE 8 “Where have you buried Him?” Jesus said. The two sisters and a crowd of people set off for Lazarus’ tomb. It was in a cave cut out of the rock near the village. A stone had been rolled over the entrance.

Jesus too rose from the dead and we remember this when we celebrate Easter. Jesus has the power over death. Jesus performed a miracle that day in Bethany that I’m sure was never forgotten. You see the Bible tells us that with God all things are possible and Lazarus was living proof of that!
