Today's story is called lazarus who is lazarus and what happened to him
lazarus is a friend of jesus let's find out as we read the story so are you children ready for it
yes yes we are jesus had a very good friend named lazarus in bethany lazarus had two sisters mary
and martha one day lazarus felt very ill and his sister sent a message to jesus asking him to come
to their home but when jesus received the message he said lazarus won't die from illness it is for
god's glory even though jesus loved lazarus and his sisters he did not go to bethany right away
he waited for two days and then said let's go to judea that is where bethany was
jesus's disciples thought otherwise they did not think it was a very good idea for jesus to visit
bethany because a few days earlier to that religious leaders of judea had threatened
to kill him but jesus said our friend lazarus is sleeping we must go and wake him
wait a minute his disciples said if he's sleeping then that means he's resting and is getting better
from his illness but they did not understand what jesus actually meant by sleeping jesus
actually meant that lazarus had died he said what i'm trying to tell you is that lazarus has died
i'm glad that i wasn't there to help him because now you will see god's power and your belief in me
so jesus and his disciples left for bethany when he got there he was told that lazarus had died
and been buried four days before there were many people friends and neighbors who came to mary
and martha's house to offer them their support and sympathy someone went and informed martha
that jesus had come she ran out to meet him while mary stayed home martha ran up to jesus and said
lord if you had been here then my brother would be alive still i know and i believe that god will do
whatever you ask your brother will rise again jesus said yes i know that when everyone rises
at the resurrection he will rise too martha said i am the resurrection and the life
jesus said people who believe in me will live forever even though they die
they will have eternal life for having faith in me do you believe this martha yes i do martha said
i have always believed that you are the messiah the son of god
martha went back home to her sister and told her that jesus is here and wanted to see her
mary immediately ran out to jesus my brother would not have died if you had come
mary said to jesus she started crying and when jesus saw her grief he was very upset some of the
people wondered why jesus hadn't come and helped lazarus because they knew he could do miracles
he had healed blind people before where have you buried him jesus asked someone told him where
lazarus was buried jesus went to the tomb where lazarus was buried and said roll away the stone
marth has stopped him now don't he's been buried for four days and will smell terrible i told you
you would see god's glory if you believe didn't i
jesus said so some of the men rolled the stone aside jesus looked up to heaven and said father
thank you for hearing my prayers then he shouted lazarus come out all the people there
were amazed when lazarus walked out of the tomb still wrapped in the burial clocks
jesus said unwrap him and let him go wow that was a wonderful story i am glad you liked it
the holy tales i am going to tell you a very exciting story it is called jesus calms the storm
wow that must be interesting let's not waste any more time holy go on with the story jesus did
everything and performed miracles to point people to god he wanted people to know god
love him trust him and obey him he did miraculous things to show people god's amazing powers which
no normal human being could do the people who saw these miracles happening truly believed
that jesus was the son of god and the messiah wherever jesus went a large crowd of people
always followed him he spent his days teaching healing talking with them and got very little rest
one day after teaching all day in the evening he said to his disciples come
let's cross to the other side of the lake so jesus along with his disciples got onto one boat
while some of the people in the crowd got into other boats and followed them jesus went to the
back of the boat and lay down he was very tired and so he fell asleep when the boat
was in the middle of the lake a terrible storm blew in the wind blew the boat around tossing
and turning it and the waves crashed against him the disciples were terrified they thought
they would die they frantically went to jesus and said teacher help us we're going to drown
jesus very calmly got up and looked at the waves and said be still
immediately the wind stopped blowing and the waves calmed down everything was quiet
jesus then turned to his disciples and asked why were you so afraid don't you have faith in me all
of his disciples were amazed to see jesus's powers they wondered amongst themselves as to who was
this great man that even the wind and the waves obeyed him that was indeed a very exciting story
holy jesus had such amazing powers to even control the wind and the waves oh yes i love stories like
these we love all the stories that you tell us holy thank you you are most welcome dear
the holy tales today i'm going to tell you the story about jesus getting anointed by mary so
are you children ready for it oh yes we are jesus was sent to earth by god
his father for a specific reason he was sent to the earth to help people to connect with god
the end of this plan led to jesus taking the cross for the sins of the people he tried over
and over to tell his disciples that he was going to die but they failed to understand his message
now the end of his time on earth was coming near and it was very important for them to understand
quickly jesus knew that his ministry on earth is going to get over soon enough
he tried telling his disciples about what was coming but he never really understood one night
jesus and his disciples were having dinner at mary's house with her sister martha and lazarus
martha served dinner and while they were eating mary brought a jar of very expensive perfume
she went up to jesus and slowly poured the perfume on his feet and wiped them dry using her own hair
the sweet fragrance of the perfume filled up the entire house jesus's disciples watched mary doing
this some of them got very upset judas iscariot said what a waste of money this expensive perfume
could have been sold for a lot of money and that money could have been used to help the poor
judas did not really care about the poor he was in charge of the disciples money and he often
stole from their funds for his own use jesus had an answer for judas's concern he said don't stop
her from doing such a good thing for me you will always have poor people around you but i will not
be here much longer she has poured this perfume on me to prepare my body for burial i promise
that whenever my stories are told throughout the world this woman's deeds will be mentioned
