“I watched the young girl in horrified fascination”

*Mary left home in a decision that shattered her family. She accepted her Messiah in a dramatic act of love.

*Martha shined as a popular hostess, but finds herself despised for her sister's sin; forsaken by her husband, the victim of an undeserved divorce; and no longer marriageable.

*With nowhere to run, Mary came home, afraid for her life. Can Martha forgive?

*Lazarus' sisters watch him sicken and die. They called on Jesus confident He will heal. Four days later He arrived, Lazarus already dead in the tomb. He ordered family friends to remove the stone from the entrance. Stunned eyes witnessed the Lord as he shouted at Lazarus to come out. On swaying rubber legs, Lazarus obeyed.

*The Sanhedrin (Jewish government) decreed a price on Lazarus' head. They couldn't allow this proof of the power of God. Will Lazarus follow the apostles in martyrdom?
