Bob Hartman imagines a sequel to the story of Jesus raising a girl back to life

Girl Who Got Up_v1

Hello!

We’re having a little party here. Thanks for coming.

That’s my mum, over there. And my dad. Can you guess who that is by the door with His friends?

It’s Jesus!

I wasn’t actually ‘around’ for all of it. But from what my dad told me, it goes something this …

 

I was ill. Really, really ill. It wasn’t very nice.

My parents were very worried about me.

Dad runs the synagogue. It’s the place where we go to pray and learn about God. So my dad did lots of praying for me. But I didn’t get any better.
