Jesus is a welcome guest and friend at the home of Martha, Mary and their brother Lazarus in the village of Bethany. So when Lazarus falls gravely ill, the sisters send a message to Jesus: "Lord, the one you love is sick." But by the time Jesus arrives, Lazarus has already been in the tomb for four days. Two Sisters and a Funeral tells the exciting story of a family transformed first of all by seeing their brother Lazarus raised from the tomb, and then the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, Saviour of the world.
