Icebreaker:
What was the first funeral you attended?
What was the oddest funeral you ever attended?
How do you feel about cemeteries?
Scripture:
John 11:25-44
Lesson:
The stories of Martha, Mary and
Lazarus of Bethany give us a glimpse into how Jesus interacted with a real family. When Jesus arrives, their beloved Lazarus has
died. Martha, when questioned by Jesus
about her faith, gives a remarkable statement.
“You are the Christ, the Son of God.”
She is one of few people recorded in scripture to have recognized Jesus
as the Messiah. When Jesus encounters
the distraught Mary, he is moved to tears.
Jesus knew what Martha and Mary did not.
Physical life is but a vapor.
Real life begins after death.
What family dynamics do you see in this story?
How does Jesus react differently to each sister? Why?
What did Jesus mean by saying, “I am the resurrection and the life?”
What would you have said when Jesus asked, “Do you believe this?”
What does it mean to live “in” Jesus?
What makes death so difficult to understand?
What makes eternal life so difficult to understand?
How will you feel when Jesus calls your name?
