Jesus Raises Lazarus

 This Jesus lesson is found in John 11 (lessons from the book of John will be added 2026) and is part of the Life of Jesus series of lessons not found in the book of Luke. They are designed for older students with some worksheets and printables that correspond for younger students so they can be used in classes with several ages together.

Most of the worksheets have the teacher's answer sheets included, and some are in color and black & white.

To make the Flip Book, cut on the dotted line to separate the top from bottom. Cut the bottom pictures out on solid line. Layer in order and staple as shown on the gray rectangle. Fold the Foldable Book in half lengthwise, then fold in page 3, then fold the front cover on the line. The Spinner and Foldable Book are in color and black & white. The Flip Book and Spinner work best if printed on cardstock or heavier paper.

This is super easy to prepare and fun for the kids and can be used as a visual, too! The tomb rock can be rolled in front of the opening, then rolled away. Color and black & white are both included, although the people for the black & white are not designed for coloring. To create the 3-D scene, fold the scene in half. Cut on dotted lines. Fold bottom of tomb forward on solid line. Fold the clouds forward on top line. Fold backward on the inside line. This can be printed on paper or cardstock. The people will work best if printed on cardstock. Cut the people on the solid lines and fold on the dotted lines. One side of Jesus has Him weeping, and the other side does not and can easily be flipped to use each side.

The first worksheet is a fill in the blank. Instead of numbering these 1, 2, 3, etc., they are numbered with the verse to read first, then fill in the blanks using the Word Bank. There is a Reader Worksheet which has pictures for the students to write the number under each to put them in order after reading the summary of the lesson. The next was designed for those asking for cut & glue. It is an easy scripture to cut out the words and glue them in order. The students will also write out the verse. This was a suggestion from a teacher. The next is a chapter word search and crossword puzzle, a color-by-number and a maze.  There is a Who did it? worksheet with a description for each person. The students will cut out the people and glue them to the correct description. There is a number code and alphabet code worksheet. 

Jesus said, "I am the resurrection and the life." John 11:25a

These printables can be used for this lesson and any other appropriate lesson and were kept plain intentionally for this purpose. A key verse was chosen from the chapter to use for discussion, memory work, and copy work. Students can color or paint the designs on the banner, door hanger and bookmark and poster. Stickers can be added. String or ribbon can be added to the banner to hang and on the bookmark.
