Jesus shows His humanity and love in these verses while also exhibiting His divine power.
Jesus said, …

“I am the resurrection and the life.
Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live,
and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die.”
John 11:25,26 ESV

  • What does Jesus say is the key to the resurrection and the life?
  • How does Jesus explain resurrection?
  • Jesus shows His humanity as they are going to Lazarus’ tomb, what does he do?
  • Jesus experienced a human existence including emotions (Hebrews 4:14-16). Share what it means to you to have a Savior who can sympathize with your thoughts and emotions and loves you unconditionally?
  • Christ exhibits His power over death! He first thanks God and then says, “Lazarus come out.” What happens next?

and with their ears they can barely hear,
and their eyes they have closed.
Matthew 13:15a ESV

  • What does Jesus’ parable reveal to you about the difference between simply hearing God’s word and listening with a prepared heart?
  • Write a prayer asking the Spirit to prepare your heart so that you can receive the seed of God’s precious word
    (I love Psalm 139:23-24).
