He who believes in me will live, even though he dies’<\/strong>. (John 11 v 25) He spoke these words to Martha before he raised her brother Lazarus from the grave. His words and actions are fully understood when we see the power that God has over death as he raised Jesus from the tomb and declared victory over death.

The window depicts two biblical events with resurrection themes,<\/b> one from Mark chapter 5\u00a0 – the account of Jesus raising the daughter of Jairus. Jairus was a ruler in the synagogue. On meeting Jesus he pleaded for him to come to his house and heal his daughter whom he believed was dying. Jesus’ visit to Jairus’ house was delayed by a woman in the crowd who also sought healing and before he reached the house, messengers arrived to say the girl had died. On approaching the house and seeing the commotion, he said the girl was ‘only sleeping’. The people mocked him, but taking the parents and the those disciples who accompanied him into the girl’s room, he brought her back to life. People were amazed and astonished.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/upperwensleydalechurch.org\/st-margarets\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/08\/Lady-Chapel-window-lower-right.jpg\")
The second story<\/strong> is from 2 Kings chapter 4 where there is the account of Elisha raising the Shunammite child from death. Elisha regularly visited a family in Shunam in the territory of Issachar, and they had a room made available for him in their house. One day their son died after experiencing a severe headache and his mother laid him in Elisha’s room and set out to find Elisha at Mt Carmel, knowing he was a man of God. Elisha and and his servant Gehazi followed her home and Elisha prayed and breathed life back into the child.
