appeared and began talking with Jesus.
The disciples were amazed.
Just as that was happening, a bright cloud came right over
where they were standing. A voice came out of the cloud: “This is my own dear
Son, and I am pleased with him.”
Peter, James, and John were scared. They fell down on the
ground.
“Get up,” Jesus said. “Don’t be afraid!”
“It is good for us to be here!” Peter said. Peter, James,
and John would remember that day the rest of their lives.

One day Jesus heard that Lazarus was very sick. Jesus loved
Lazarus very much. Everyone expected Jesus to go to Lazarus right away. But
Jesus waited two more days before He went to see him. “His sickness will bring
glory to God and his Son,” Jesus said.
By the time Jesus went to see him, Lazarus had died. When
Martha, Lazarus’s sister, saw Jesus coming, she went out to meet Him. “Lord, if
you had been here,” she said, “my brother would not have died.”
“Your brother will live again!” Jesus told her.
They took Jesus to the cave where Lazarus was buried.
“Lazarus, come out!” Jesus called. Lazarus, wrapped in grave-clothes, came out
of the cave. He was alive! Many more people believed in Jesus. Lazarus died so
people could see that Jesus was God’s Son.

What has God done that did not make any sense to you?
Did you understand later why God did it?
Why do you think we do not always understand God’s actions?
The Praying Step
Dear God, I do not always understand why You do the things
You do. But I know You always have a reason for everything You do. Help me to

higher than yours.

want to be around them because they were afraid they might become sick, too. So
the people with leprosy were forced to live apart from others.
Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem. One day He walked through
a village. Some men with leprosy saw Him with His disciples.
“Jesus,” they shouted, “have pity on us!” Jesus looked over
at them. They were standing far away from Him.
“Go,” Jesus said, “show yourselves to the priests.” All ten
men ran as fast as they could. As they went, they were healed.
When he saw that he was well again, one man stopped and ran
back to Jesus. He thanked Jesus for healing him.
“Get up and go,” Jesus told him. “Your faith has made you
well.” Jesus was glad the man came back to thank Him
