Show the model answer
(a) Lazarus of Bethany died; Jesus arrived after he had been four days in the tomb (John 11:1, 17).
Martha said if He had been there her brother would not have died (John 11:21).
Jesus said, "Your brother will rise again" (John 11:23).
Martha said she knew he would rise at the last day (John 11:24).
Jesus said, "I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live" (John 11:25).
"Whoever lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?" (John 11:26).
Martha confessed Him as the Christ, the Son of God (John 11:27).
He raised Lazarus from the tomb (John 11:43-44).
(b) Any two: believers will rise from the dead; eternal life for those who believe; victory over death; comfort in bereavement; Jesus is present with us now.
Summarise John 11:17-44, then two assurances.
