Elementary Discussion Questions
What should we do when we feel sad or hurt?

Can we still trust God even when His plans seem late? Why?
Discuss how Mary and Martha didn’t understand why Jesus had not come to see Lazarus sooner. Tell kids that they believed that if Jesus had been there, Lazarus would not have died. Help kids understand that God’s plans always work for our good, even if His plans seem late. Tell kids that Jesus promises He will always be with us and that He knows all things. Encourage kids to always trust God’s timing.
Why did Jesus say He is the resurrection and the life?
Tell kids that not only does Jesus have the power to raise people from the dead, but that He is the source of all life. Explain that Jesus would ultimately display His resurrection and life giving power when He would rise from the grave and conquer sin and death. Remind kids that the consequences of sin is death, and that only Jesus lived the perfect life to be the perfect sacrifice our sin requires.
