Bullock Scovens Frazier The Resurrection and The Life Background Reading: John 11:1-16 Lesson Scripture: John 11:17-27 Lesson Aims: To appreciate Jesus' teachings more; to explain how Jesus is The Resurrection and The Life; and be willing to share the Gospel of Christ. Background: Jesus deliberately stayed away from Bethany (of Judea) when word came that His friend Lazarus was sick. Two days lotAr Uo onnAiinoa/1 tkot laivi , i iv ainiwuiiw^u uiai Lazarus was dead and that they would go to Bethany to raise His friend from the dead. Jesus' actions would be more than a miracle; they would bring God glory! It was custom at that time to bury the dead as soon as possi ble. Many Eastern cul tures continue this prac tice today. The people also believed that "the soul hovered around the body for three days. When the body doesn't respond, the soul leaves permanently," (The Interpreter's Bible Commentary, Vol. 9). Lazarus was in the tomb long enough to confirm his death. By now, the body was decaying thus there was an odor. Lazarus and his two sisters, Martha and Mary appeared in Luke 10:38-42 where Jesus as their guest taught the people. Mary (unnamed) in Mark 14:3-9 anointed Jesus. Their relationship was very close (see vs. 5). Even though her brother was dead, Martha's faith in Jesus didn't waver. Mourners were there; no doubt some Jerusalem residents were present as well as the disciples, who would get to witness God's glory. What should they expect for, after all, the man had been dead four days! Lesson: Jesus knows everything. He shares knowledge with the peo ple, but they don't understand because their sight doesn't go beyond the See Peppers on B7 ^l Mildred Peppers Sunday School Lesson I
