Raising Lazarus | Scripture Story Sketch Notes | Printable PDF

A hand-drawn, doodle-style study of the raising of Lazarus, built around the Savior’s words: “I am the resurrection, and the life” (John 11:25).

Follow a numbered map to Bethany, then look closer at the details. Context and a Greek word help, while the focus stays on the Savior.

What's Inside

• Cover with a numbered map and a contents list
• The story, plainly: four scenes, “Look to Him” notes, the hard King James words explained, and a draw-and-write page
• Look closer: nine cards on the message, the four days, Bethany, the light, the tear, the stone, the cave, the voice and the graveclothes
• Where are you at Bethany? Waiting, grieving, holding on to faith, or ready to help, with check-ins
• What Martha Knew: write what was said at each step, then what you know
• Their world, their words: why four days, Martha’s faith, a cave tomb, our part, and a Greek word
• Look to Him: what prophets have taught, with Martha’s witness
• Seek Him today: His question, a seven-day tracker, talk-about questions and verses to hold
• Go deeper: summaries and links for adult and deeper study
• Sources: every quotation and gloss cited with links (scripture first, then Church sources, then labeled outside sources)

Perfect For

• Personal and family Come, Follow Me study of John 11, Easter and grief lessons, and youth or Primary classes any year
• Family home evening
• Primary, Sunday School, youth and seminary teachers
• Adults who want a deeper, well-sourced study
