What this episode covers

Jesus Raises Lazarus From the Dead [part 2/6] (John 11:8-16) Bible Reading: "But Rabbi," they said, "a short while ago the Jews tried to stone you, and yet you are going back there?" Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours of daylight? A man who walks by day will not stumble, for he sees by this world's light. It is when he walks by night that he stumbles, for he has no light." After he had said this, he went on to tell them, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up." His disciples replied, "Lord, if he sleeps, he will get better." Jesus had been speaking of his death, but his disciples thought he meant natural sleep. So then he told them plainly, "Lazarus is dead, and for your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him." Then Thomas (called Didymus) said to the rest of the disciples, "Let us also go, that we may die with him." John 11:8-16 Scripture Reflections to Consider: What does sleep often refer to when mentioned in the scriptures? Are you walking in a spiritual sleep? Are those around you in spiritual sleep? How do we wake up? In what areas is Jesus trying to change how you think today? Why does Jesus say that he was glad he was not there? What are some qualities in Thomas that we can seek to add into us? For more information about our ministry, please visit https://www.kingdomd.org.
