Bursting into life

2 - 8 April 2017

Dead or alive?

John 11.1-45
  • Jesus visits Mary and Martha, four days after their brother Lazarus
     has died.
  • He says, ‘I am the resurrection and the life’; and that Lazarus will
     rise again.
  • Jesus weeps for Lazarus; then he calls him from the tomb, restored
     to life.

This week's resources explore:
testing faith; the human and divine in Jesus; restoring life.
