When Lazarus of Bethany falls deathly ill, his sisters Mary and Martha send word to Jesus, who is in another town 20 miles away. Four days after Lazarus has died and been buried in a cave-tomb, Jesus meets up and weeps with the grieving sisters for His departed friend. But Jesus commands the stone of the tomb be rolled away and cries with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth!” Lazarus immediately walks out alive, still wrapped in his graveclothes, which becomes a powerful preview of the future resurrections, when all who are in their graves will hear the voice of the Son of God and come forth.

As we have a loving Father in heaven Who is always there for us in the midst of our struggles, the love of an earthly father for his child is seen in the account of a man seeking help from the Lord to save his daughter. In this episode, we witness Jairus, a desperate synagogue ruler, begging Jesus to heal his dying 12-year-old daughter. En route, Jesus is interrupted by the healing of a woman with a 12-year bleeding issue, after which messengers report the girl has died. Yet Jesus tells Jairus, “Be not afraid, only believe,” and then raises the girl to full life and health. As was Jairus’ daughter, we, too, are a witness to Christ’s power, grace, and glory in saving us and giving us life.

Many go through their lives not dealing with the thought of their inevitable death. They block it out of their minds and try to pretend it won’t happen. But we can’t escape the reality—death is a power against which each of us is helpless. This episode recounts the miracle from Luke 7:11-17, where Jesus encounters a funeral procession of a young man—the only son of a grieving widow—and raises him to life in front of his overjoyed mother and a stunned crowd. This miracle reminds us of our mortality, but it also shouts to us of Christ’s power over death and the grave.

This lesson details the story of Dorcas (Tabitha), a beloved disciple in the seaport of Joppa, who was known for her selfless good works. When Dorcas falls sick and dies, the believers, hoping for a miracle, summon the Apostle Peter from a nearby town. After Peter arrives and kneels in prayer, he simply commands “Tabitha, arise,” instantly raising her to full life as she opens her eyes and sits up. Beyond the miracle itself, the account illustrates that Israel’s kingdom program will one day be raised from the dead and be a great blessing to the world.

In this episode, we learn of a young man who paid the ultimate price for “falling asleep in church.” In Acts 20:7-12, during the Apostle Paul’s long midnight preaching in a warm, stuffy third-story chamber, Eutychus dozes off in a windowsill, sinks into a deep sleep, and falls to his death. Paul immediately goes down, embraces the lifeless body, and raises Eutychus back to full life through God’s power. Like it was God who gave life to Eutychus through Paul, it is Christ Who gives life to the Church in this age of grace through the preaching and truth found in Paul’s epistles.

Part: 7
Something went wrong in Israel when Christ came and ministered in her midst for 3½ years—the nation as a whole rejected her Messiah. In this episode, we learn from a parable the Lord gave in Luke 13 that the unspiritual nation was granted “one more year” to allow for a final national opportunity to repent and believe. With another refusal of the Holy Spirit’s witness at the stoning of Stephen, Israel was temporarily cast aside and the prophesied Tribulation judgment postponed. God then ushered in the current dispensation of grace and the “mystery” revealed to the Apostle Paul, and formed the Church, the Body of Christ. The Tribulation will still take place one day, after the Rapture, so all are urged today to trust in Christ’s death and resurrection for salvation to escape the coming wrath.

- Series: The Cross in Prophecy
Part: 9
Simply out of gratitude, we can never forget Christ’s great sacrifice on the Cross in saving us from our sins, so that we might live eternally. In the Old Testament, there are many different prophecies and types of the Cross, like the account in Exodus 15 presented in this episode. After Israel’s miraculous deliverance through the Red Sea, they enter a barren wilderness, endure three days without water, and then discover the bitter, undrinkable waters of Marah, causing the people to murmur in unbelief. God instructs Moses to cast a tree into the waters, which instantly transforms them from bitter and poisonous to sweet and life-giving, picturing how Christ’s crucifixion on a tree (the Cross) fully paid the penalty of sin and death, and turned doom into eternal life and blessing.

The seventh and final saying from the Cross—“Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit” (Luke 23:46)—was Jesus’ calm, confident last utterance after “It is finished,” as He bowed His head and voluntarily dismissed His spirit, dying willingly and in full control after paying sin’s penalty in His humanity, while also exercising His divine authority. The lesson explains that Christ’s voluntary death enables our spiritual victory and freedom—He laid down His life so we who have faith in Him might live eternally. This final statement of perfect trust shows that, unlike every other death, Jesus’ was unique: He died not for His own sins but for ours, and believers can die with the same peace, knowing the Father receives us into His safe and loving hands forever.

“It is finished” (John 19:30)—the sixth saying from the Cross—was Jesus’ triumphant shout, declaring that the work of redemption was fully completed: sin’s penalty paid in full, prophecies fulfilled, the Father’s justice satisfied, and the perfect sacrifice offered once for all. In this episode, we are reminded that Christ’s cry announced that nothing more was needed—He had finished His labor of love, borne the world’s sins, and provided eternal acceptance and freedom for all who have faith and trust in Him as their personal Savior. Thus, salvation requires no works or additions from us, only simple faith in what Christ has already done on our behalf.

The fifth saying from the Cross—“I thirst” (John 19:28)—is the focus of this lesson and was spoken by Jesus after the three hours of darkness, that Scripture might be fulfilled. As fully man, He experienced the raging physical thirst of crucifixion, having earlier refused the pain-deadening, gall-mixed wine to bear our full suffering, yet later accepting sour wine on hyssop to fulfill prophecy and moisten His throat for His final declarations. This cry also revealed a deeper spiritual thirst—the infinite agony of separation from the Father while bearing the world’s sins and God’s wrath—and shows that Christ thirsted and died alone as our Substitute, so that by simple faith in His finished work we are eternally quenched, forgiven, and delivered from judgment.
