Lazarus Lesson- 2010






I came up with this lesson to work this multiple volunteers teaching and to give the volunteers some freedom while still allowing them to know what the other teachers were doing. This worked really well.

Teachers are to say the quotes. ...in their own interpretation and keeping in mind if it is the first day or the last day.

Bold text indicates what the teacher had to prepare ahead of time.

LESSON ORDER:
Introduce yourself
Pray
Show children bible
“This is God’s word.”
“Our story is in the New Testament.”
“The New Testament tells about Jesus’s life.”
“This story is in John.”
“John is the book in the bible that tells Jesus is God’s son.”
“Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are called Synoptic Gospels because they include many of the same stories, often in the same sequence, and sometimes the exact same wording.”
Read them the story of Lazarus directly from your bible
Repeat your part of the story
Ask open ended questions about your story
Why do you think Jesus waited?
How do you think Mary felt when Jesus arrived?
How do you know Martha and Jesus were friends?
Activity of your choosing related to the lesson
Practice memory versus with children- John 11:25. Write scripture on the white board. Erase one word at a time and draw a picture in its place.

Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies. John 11:25
