Video Illustration

Produced by Skit Guys

John reflects on the way Jesus cared for people during His ministry, and shares his amazement at the fact that while Jesus hung, dying on the cross, He was still ministering to others. When Jesus told John to take care of His mother, John began to realize how the sacrifice on the cross was opening the door for everyone to be part of Jesus’ family. This video is based on John 19:26 and is part of the Last Words of Christ Easter series, and can also stand alone as a sermon illustration on putting others’ needs before your own.

Last Words Of Christ: Martha

Video Illustration

Produced by Skit Guys

When her brother Lazarus died, Martha felt as though Jesus had abandoned them. She believed Lazarus was gone forever. However, the words Jesus said from the cross about feeling forsaken by God may have connected with how Martha felt on a deeper level. The reflections from Martha help us consider how we can hope for a different ending in our story, even when we feel forsaken. This video is based on Matthew 27:46 and is part of the Last Words of Christ Easter series, and can also stand alone as a sermon illustration on trusting and waiting on God.
