Jesus is so strong that he can do anything he wants whenever he wants.

In today’s lesson, we’re going to learn about one of the coolest miracles Jesus performed. Jesus did some pretty cool things while he walked the Earth. He fed 5000 people with just a few loaves and fishes. He healed many people from terrible sicknesses and even helped lame people walk again. But, this miracle is even more amazing than those, and it involves his friend Lazarus. Lazarus and his sisters, Mary and Martha, loved Jesus and believed that he was God. So, when Lazarus got really sick, they knew that Jesus could heal him. So, they sent word to Jesus to come and heal their brother. Well, Jesus took a few days to get there, and when he arrived, Lazarus had died. Mary and Martha were so sad and confused and they wondered why Jesus hadn’t come in time to heal him. Well, Jesus had a plan and his timing was not a mistake. Jesus ended up bringing Lazarus back to life! He wanted to show just how powerful he was that he can even bring someone back from death. Everyone rejoiced and thanked Jesus for his awesome power.
