Jesus had resurrected him! Jesus asked for Lazarus to be made free of his burial clothes so that Lazarus could move around again.In May, I hosted a Bible Character Costume Party for our congregation. The people then removed the stone and to their shock, Jesus called out for the dead man!Īnd to everyone’s surprise, a man who had been dead for 4 days stood at the end of the cave alive. If you believe in the glory of God you will see” Martha said “How can we do that? He’s been dead for 4 days, his body would smell!” He asked the people to remove the stone covering the cave. The town folk and the sisters took Jesus to Lazarus’ tomb, which was actually a cave. Seeing this Jesus then asked to see where Lazarus was buried. Seeing him cry, people began to wonder why Jesus did not come to heal the man. Seeing her in pain Jesus also felt sad and wept. When she saw him she cried and told him that if he had come sooner her brother would’ve been alive. Mary went to greet Jesus and the town settlers followed her. Mary Asked Jesus Why He Didn’t Come Sooner She thought he meant that Lazarus will be alive in heaven, so she went and got her sister. He told them that whoever believes in him even if dead, would rise. Jesus reassured Martha that her brother will be brought back to life. Martha asked Jesus “If you had come sooner you could have healed my brother, but now that you are here you can ask God to heal him and what you ask of God, God gives you does he not?”

When the sisters got to know that Jesus had come, Martha ran to go greet him, but the other sister Mary remained seated in the house. Lazarus had been wrapped in his burial clothes and put in a tomb. Jesus reached the settlement 4 days after Lazarus had passed. They were all very confused because they did not understand how someone could wake a person who is dead. So Jesus told them that Lazarus had indeed died and he was not there to heal, but then he assured them that it was okay and it was for the best that they were not there. The disciples believed that Lazarus was simply asleep. He told his followers “My friend has fallen asleep, I must go wake him.” He told the people it was time to go back, even though people in Judea (close to Bethany) were hunting him.

On the second day, Jesus knew that his beloved friend had passed away. He then stayed for two more days in that town teaching the people about God and his glory. But when Jesus heard the news he confidently said “Do not worry. The messengers rushed to get this message to Jesus and to ask him to go and heal his friend. They wanted Jesus to come and help their brother. The sisters, Martha and Mary, were very scared that they might die. One time when Jesus was far away from the small settlement of Bethany preaching about God, he received a message that his dear friend Lazarus was very sick.
