Join us as we examine Holy Week Day by Day.
God’s Big Story is about working through out history and His plan us. God created humans to have a relationship. Unfortunately, things got messed up when Adam and Eve chose to not follow God’s plan. God also had a plan to redeem us and restore our relationship. Jesus knew that his purpose for coming to Earth was to bring restoration to us. That will be our focus for the next three weeks.
Lazarus and his sisters Martha and Mary were very good friends to Jesus. He had even spent time in their home. When Lazarus got sick his sisters sent someone to get Jesus. Let’s see what happens.
Compassion was one of our themes from last week. In his ministry Jesus often showed compassion for those around him. He showed compassion for the groups that were often overlooked like children, women, the poor and outsiders. This week we will see another example compassion.
Our study this year is about God’s story. In the first lesson we learned that God is the creator of everything. The next week we learned that God created people and loves us. Many years later God sent his son Jesus to earth. Jesus would grow up and begin teaching. Jesus was different than other teachers. Jesus had power and authority other teachers didn’t have. That’s what we are going to see in this week’s lesson.
