He Slept! He Died!
Then Lived to Tell
the Story!
 What
was his
story?
The Bible
tells the
story of a
friend of
Jesus who
got sick.
 So his sisters sent this
short message to
Dr. Jesus.
“Lord, behold, he whom
You love is sick.”
John 11:3
 They
expected
Jesus to
come right
away.
But He
didn’t!
Instead,
the
Savior
delayed
for two
whole
days!
 Finally Jesus said
“Our friend Lazarus
sleeps, but I go that I
may wake him up.”
John 11:11
 What was the reply of
the disciples?
“Lord, if he sleeps he
will get well.”

John 11:12
 Why did
they say,
“If
he sleeps
he will get
well?”
Because sleep is the body’s
Repair Shop!
 This
marvelous
machine of
the human
body is in
constant
operation!
 We are
working
and
playing,
studying
and
thinking.
 So our
nerves,
muscles,
and body
cells need
constant
repair.
During sleep the
body’s machinery
is serviced.
Sleep is God’s Service
Station.
From the beginning of time,
the Creator used sleep to
perform miracles!
 Miracle in Eden!
“And the Lord God caused
a deep sleep to fall on
Adam, and He slept; and
He took one of his ribs,
and … made into a
woman.”
Genesis 2:21,22
 Today, while
we sleep, God
still performs
miracles!

What are
some of
them?
1. Sleep
facilitates
production of
growth hormones.
2. It strengthens the immune
system and enhances
resistance to illness.
 3. Sleep
allows the
body to
renew its
energy,
and
extend its
life.
 4. Sleep increases brain
function, improves memory
and concentration.
5. It keeps us alert, enabling
us to make good decisions!
 How
much
sleep
does one
need?
A child needs nine to ten hours daily.
An adult needs six to eight hours.
But today, many people get
too little sleep!
 And Sleep
Deprivation
has serious
negative
results!
What are
some of
them?
 1. Beware!
Loss of
Sleep can
cause us
to gain
weight.
 When we decrease
the amount
of sleep,

we increase the amount we eat.

And the more
food we eat,
the more
weight we
gain.
 2. Beware!
Sleep loss
can lead to
Type 2
Diabetes.
Eating that extra food
opens the
door to
Type 2
Diabetes.
 3. Beware!
Insufficient
sleep
increases
risk of heart
disease…
and
High
Blood
Pressure.
 4. Beware!
Loss of
sleep can
lead to
caffeine
addiction.
Less sleep makes us drowsy. So
we use caffeine to stay alert.
 But
caffeine
gives a
high,
then a
low. So
we get
addicted.
 5. Beware!
Sleep loss
can cause
accidents
and loss of
life!
 Fatigue and drowsiness,
cause accidents and death!
However, many people find it
difficult to sleep!
So sleeping
pills is a big
business!

How many
want to say

“Yes”
to
these Ten
Tips?
Well, let’s
go back
to the
story of
Lazarus.
Do you remember what
Jesus said?
“Our friend Lazarus
sleeps, but I go that I
may wake him up.”
John 11:11.
 But Lazarus wasn’t
sleeping!
The man was
dead!
“Then Jesus said to
them plainly, ‘Lazarus is
dead.’”
John 11:14.
So why did
Jesus say
that the
dead man
was
asleep?
 Because
death is like
a sleep.
We’ll wake
up on
resurrection
morning!
 What really
happens at
death?
In order to
understand
death, we need
examine life.
Look how God created
Adam!
“And the Lord God formed
man of the dust of the
ground, and breathed into
his nostrils the breath of
life; …
“and man became a living
soul.”
Genesis 2:7, KJV
The NKJV & the NIV say,
“man became a living
being.”
So man does
not have a soul.
He is a
soul!
“Soul” means
“living being.”
 Equation

Body of Dust +
Breath of life =
Living soul.
 At death, the reverse
takes place!
“Then the dust will return
to the earth as it was, and
the spirit will return to
God who gave it.”
Ecclesiastes 12:7
Death is like a deep sleep.
The dead know
They Know Nothing!
“His spirit departs, he
returns to his earth;
In that very day his
plans perish.”
Psalm 146:4
Therefore
we cannot
talk with
the dead
members
of our
family.
But people
have seen
beings that
look like dead
members of
their family!
What really
do they see?
 Revelation 16:14
“For they are the spirits
of devils, working
miracles …”
Evil angels have power to
personate the dead!
“How you are fallen from
heaven, O Lucifer, son of
the morning!
“For you have said in
your heart…‘I will be like
the Most High.’”
Isaiah 14:12-14.
So Satan on
earth was
once
Lucifer in
heaven, and
he rebelled
against
God!
 Satan and
his angels
were cast
from
heaven to
Revelation earth!
12:7-9 tells us
 Now let’s
conclude the
story of Lazarus.
Finally, Jesus
arrived. By then
Lazarus had
been dead four
.
days!
 Standing
beside the
tomb, the
Life Giver
gave an
astonishing
command!
“Lazarus,
come
forth!”
 And the dead man
came from the grave!
So Here’s the
Question.
When Lazarus
came from the
grave, what
was his story?
 His Story Was
“I went to sleep.
Then I felt I was dying!
While in the grave,
I knew absolutely
nothing!
“Then one
day, I
heard the
voice of
Jesus!
 That
was
his
story!

“I felt life surging

through my body!
I was alive again!”
 And that
can also be
your story
when Christ
comes
again!
Attention!
Attention!
Christ’s Second
Coming will not be a
secret activity!
 It’s a literal, visible
appearing in the sky!
Every person on this
planet will see Him!
“Behold, He is coming
in clouds, and every
eye will see Him”
Revelation 1:7
It’s an Audible Appearing.
Everyone will hear Him!
 Even the dead will hear
His voice!
“For the Lord Himself will
descend from heaven with a
shout,…. And the dead in
Christ will rise first.
1 Thessalonians 4:16.
 There will be a
Resurrection and a Grand
Family Reunion!
“Then we who are alive
and remain shall be
caught up together with
them in the clouds …
 “… to meet the Lord in
the air. And thus we will
always be with the
Lord.”
1 Thessalonians 4:17.
What a wonderful
Family Reunion
that will be!
 No More Death!
Life Forever!
“And God shall wipe away
every tear from their eyes:
there shall be no more
death, nor sorrow, nor
crying.
Revelation 21:4
We will be
Healthy

and Happy
How can I
live with
my Savior
forever?
 Jesus Himself has
given us the Answer!
“He who believes and
is baptized shall be
saved.”
Mark 16:16

to live with
Jesus then,
you’ve got to
be Baptized
