“Therefore many of the Jews who had come to visit Mary, and had seen what Jesus did,

“Here a dinner was given in Jesus’ honor. Martha served, while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with him. Then

perfume.” (John 12:2-3 NIV)

faith.” (1Cor 15:14 NIV)

“…because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with

Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with

Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order

that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace,

expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.” (Eph 2:4-7 NIV)

“Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice and come out…” (John
