Essentials of Lesson Planning A lesson plan is the starting point when thinking of a pending class, it is in the lesson planning stage where you can put your ideas onto paper. The lesson plan is evidence that you have thought about what you are going to do and why you are doing it. A lesson plan gives a teacher a structure to follow, not only in the sense of content, the timings of activities and materials they are planning to use and what learning the teacher hopes will take place. Documenting your work A lesson plan can be a one-off document, or it is usually a part of a series of lessons that someone has been teaching over some months, so there must be obvious linking between each lesson. As a teacher plans their lesson, they need to keep their objectives in mind, what is it that I want the students to be able to say in English by the end of the lesson? Even though they may have the main objective, there may even be many objectives throughout the lesson. A teacher may want the students to be able to order food in a restaurant, but there are many smaller steps to go through for the students to get a point where they can do this confidently. One of the first many objectives is to engage the students in the topic, then the next objective may be helping the students understand different levels of politeness and when it is appropriate to use this language, which of the new expressions could be used in a restaurant. This would also allow a teacher to judge how much they know about the topic. While a teacher is lesson planning, they also need to think about the tasks they will do to help the students successfully carry out the tasks. What to focus on You may even be focusing on sub-skills that your students may be practicing while doing the main task. For example, you may have set a task for them to ask them to spend 10 minutes asking their classmates about each other about how often they do certain activities. The main objective may be using adverbs have frequency to talk about routines through a survey. However, the students are not only taking part in a speaking activity, but there are also further skills they are using such as listening for specific information and note-taking. An experienced teacher will be aware of these sub-skills and be aware of how these skills can be developed within bigger tasks. Key Points of Your Lesson Plan It is important to remember that a lesson plan should be flexible if you are teaching a class and it is clear that the students are struggling with a section of the task that has been given to them. It is important that a teacher thinks of the student's needs and decides if they need to spend a long time on this part of the lesson or find another way that was not in your plan to help the students. A teacher may even decide to abandon what they have planned for a particular section of their class if it is not working. A lesson plan is also a document on which a teacher can write their reflections, they can write notes on their plan noting down which students struggled with certain language points, who is struggling with pronunciation, who was not engaged in the lesson, ideas for homework. A plan should be a document you can refer to so a teacher can learn from it, it should also be a document that is clear enough for someone else to follow, especially if there is a co-teach with another teacher.

A lesson plan can be written in various ways, each teacher has their way of writing a lesson plan, some schools insist that the teachers use a standard template or some schools may be more flexible and allow you to do your handwritten lesson plans. Whichever way a teacher writes their lesson plans the basics of having clear objectives and even many objectives remain the same.Speak with an ITTT advisor today to put together your personal plan for teaching English abroad, send us an email or call us toll free at 1-800-490-0531 to speak with an ITTT advisor today.


Okay. All right. Welcome once again. Let's pray. Let's begin. I would just like to request one of us to pray for this class for this week. In fact, three of us class of the week. So just pray for God's blessings as we go forward with our studies. Anyone? Heavenly Father, we come before you. We thank you for this new week. And we thank you that we are learning so much from your Word. Lord Jesus, we thank you. We've seen your work throughout the book of John. Lord Jesus, as we study the Lord Jesus, let His Spirit be open 99 man later, speak the Word that we require. And that is one of us also to comprehend, understand and be fruitful of this. And let us help each one of us to follow what your Word access to the Lord is. We thank you for this time. We send you this prayer. Amen. Amen. Amen. Thank you. Thank you, Dave. So we've been looking at Jesus and the works that he did, the opposition that he faced, even for the wonderful signs which he did in the midst of the people. In the last class, we saw how when the Pharisees, the Jews, they were opposing Jesus, he talked about his good works. And we see how he's trying to draw their attention to the good works. And he's saying that if you don't believe me, at least you believe the works that I'm doing. Because the works testify of who I am. So the signs that Jesus did were also an indicator for who God is and who Jesus is. So today, as we consider the works of God, which are being done among us, always genuine works, genuine interventions of God, genuine miracles, they draw people's attention to God and they cause people to believe. Which is why we've also said that we must not neglect the works of God. So today, let's continue from John chapter 11, where last week we began seeing that some of Jesus's good friends, which is Lazarus, Mary, Martha, they are in a difficult situation. We saw that Lazarus was very sick and the message came to Jesus. Lazarus of Bethany, that's the individual here. And then we saw that Jesus never really stepped out immediately to help him.  So that's what we observe. Okay, so let's continue from that passage. We've broadly seen what's going on. So let's see Jesus's response to this sickness in one of his friends' lives. Alright, so when Lazarus is really sick, there is a word which is sent out to Jesus and he heard that Lazarus was sick. And we see that he stayed two more days in that place. That's what the Bible says, two more days. Sometimes we wonder, God, why is it that in that situation you didn't move immediately, but we know. He explained himself and later on he mentioned that this is for the revelation of God's glory. So he stayed two more days in that place and we go further. And then we see how, I hope you all are looking at the chapter because I'm kind of summarizing also, but I'm looking at the verses so that I can highlight if there is something important or something that, something very essential from that culture or something that reveals the nature of Christ. So please do look at the passage if you can, along with listening. Alright, so he stayed back and when Jesus rejected going to meet Lazarus immediately, the disciples, they didn't understand what exactly was going on because Jesus said something like, our friend Lazarus sleeps, but I go that I wake him up. Now this concept of the dead sleeping, it is, I mean it wasn't new because there was understanding of a final resurrection, but still when Jesus said that Lazarus sleeps, the disciples thought that it is just normal resting. So the disciples, they commented on what Jesus said and they said, okay Lord, if he sleeps, then he will get well. At that time Jesus clarifies his statement and he says, oh actually it says Jesus spoke of his death but they thought that he was speaking about Lazarus resting in sleep. Then Jesus clarified and he said, Lazarus is dead. So it seems like God gave him that knowledge of what had actually happened. How is it possible for Jesus to have the knowledge of something that has taken place? From him obviously, he is being led by the Holy Spirit, we know, we are aware that Jesus was fully man, but he relied on the Holy Spirit for all of the things that today we rely on the Holy Spirit. We depend on the Holy Spirit for knowledge. This is nothing but the word of knowledge, where Jesus has come to know that Lazarus is actually dead at this point. So he tells the disciples, don't know. What I meant is, Lazarus is dead. Then he also adds and he says, I'm glad for your sakes that I was not there that you may believe. Nevertheless, let us go to him. So you can imagine, it would have been a very puzzling experience for the disciples. Why would Jesus, knowing that his friend is very sick, first of all, not go for two days, be aware that he is dead. Now he is revealing and he says, Lazarus is actually dead and at this point he says, I'm glad. I'm glad for your sakes. So this is somewhat mind-boggling for each one of us because we wonder God knowing that things are going to get worse. Why is it that there was no heavenly intervention? Now in some circumstances, you know, this is how we see things unfold. We may trust that God will intervene but there could be some delay and we are wondering like, Lord, what is going on? So what we've been saying all along is, Jesus was moving by God's calendar. In other words, Jesus was moving by God's timing. So even though the news came to him earlier and he could have done something, it is likely that he prayed and he waited for God's timing to go and intervene in Lazarus's situation. So at the right time down, Jesus is stepping out and he's saying, okay, come. Let us go to him after Lazarus is dead. But you see, in God's timing, there are answers, there are solutions. So we know that even though it seems late, when it is God's timing, we will see a miracle. So now Jesus goes and you see a comment by Thomas. Thomas is one of the disciples and we have also told you that he was called as the twin of Jesus. He was called the twin rather. Now, why is it that he was called the twin? It is said that he probably appeared physically. It may be he looked a little bit like Jesus, we don't know. But that's why he was known as the twin, that word. Actually, the name which Thomas had was didimus and didimus means twin. So Thomas, when he saw Jesus saying that, okay, yeah, let's go and meet Lazarus. Actually, Jesus did not want to go to that area because there were people who were threatening him and he would have walked into some sort of trouble. That's the reason why Jesus was away from that place. But when Jesus is going back into that same area, the Thomas makes a comment. He says, let us also go that we may die with him. So Thomas is aware of all the dangers of going back into that region. But you see the commitment which Thomas has. As a disciple of Jesus, it was, you know, we see Peter later on, he is denying Christ. But we don't know how Thomas reacted exactly at the time when the Lord Jesus was being tried and being beaten and all of that. But one thing we are aware that there was a big commitment which he had. It is hard to the extent where he is saying that, you know, he's ready. Basically, he's very, very ready.  So that shows a deep commitment that Thomas had. Now, there are other people who interpret this statement that they say, oh no, it's not necessarily the commitment of Thomas, but he seems to be a pessimistic individual. You remember, even when Jesus is back, he is resurrected. Thomas looks at the hand and he wants to put his finger through to double check to confirm. So maybe his personality was, he was, you know, the kind who wanted to assess, analyze, confirm. Only then believe that also they say that he was probably very negative in his perspective. So instead of looking at what positive could come out of going to the region, he was concerned that they might be attacked and that might be the last time for them to visit their friends. So that is a little bit about Thomas and what his thought process could have been. Now, at this point, they are going and Jesus finally reaches the place and they find Lazarus. It's been how long? By now, it's been four days. It's been four days. So it talks about the delay once again, the delay in terms of man's timeline, but the timeliness of God is not affected by the delay here in the world. So we see that it was four days, Lazarus was already in the tomb for four days. And we see that the Jews at that time, they had come and they had joined Mary and Martha and David comforting them. So that was the tradition of the people. So four days, think about it. You know, sometimes when people pass away, the funeral is for, you know, maybe a day, right? Maybe a day when there is mourning and the person is buried. But in that tradition, for four days, the mourning is going on. And as soon as Martha hears that Jesus is coming, she went and she met him. But Mary was still sitting in the house. Now, Martha, when she goes up to Jesus, she makes a statement and she says, Lord, if you had only been there, my brother would not have died. So again, you see that Martha, she has faith and she understands the power of God, but it is likely that she is underestimating it. She's underestimating it because she knows about the miracles. She knows about all the signs that Jesus has performed. But can Jesus raise a dead man? So that question did not have, like she did not have faith, looks like, to believe that something like that was possible. But she goes up to Jesus and says, Jesus, Lord, only if only you were there, I wouldn't be going through this delay or, you know, I wouldn't be going through this sorrow. I wouldn't be going through this difficult situation. But again, you notice, we are told earlier, we saw Jesus loved Mary and Martha. It says. So at that time, did he know that Lazarus is very sick? He knew. But still, the word of God says, they're going through pain. They're going through difficulty. Are they going through difficulty because God left them? No. We saw the Bible said that Jesus loved Mary and Martha. He loved those sisters. While they were going through the sickness of Lazarus, and we knew that Lazarus was going to die and yet, you know, he wasn't with them. But look at what Martha is saying. She's saying, if you were with us, if you were for us, why would we go through this difficult time, Jesus? So going through a difficult time does not mean that God is not with us. Or that God does not care. Or that God does not love us. Not at all because we have already seen that God cares. He cared so much for that family. But what was God trying to do? He was trying to work or Jesus was trying to work according to the timing of God. That's the only thing. So in a difficult situation, we must never believe that God is not with us. Or that God does not love us or God does not care for us because God always cares for us. And you see, even at that time, you know, these days we sing that song, right? Even when I don't see it, you're working. Even when I don't feel it, you're working. It's about like that. Martha didn't feel it. Martha didn't see it and she's complaining. She's saying, Lord, if you were here with us, my brother would not have died. But all along, what is it that Jesus was doing? He was thinking about them. He was waiting to do the miracle and he was preparing. Is it dangerous for him to come back to this region? It is very dangerous. But Jesus still came. So he is working even when Martha never understood. So she complains to him. But you see that she's expressing her faith as well. It's not the faith which says that Jesus can raise him from the dead. But she says, Lord, even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you. Sounds like she believes in resurrection. But then when Jesus said that your brother will rise again, she says, I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day. So it clarifies that she did not believe that something miraculous could take place. But she did not have the faith that Lazarus could be raised from the dead at that moment. Because she says, yeah, on the last day, like all other Jews, she also believed. Resurrection is possible. But only on the last day. You know, it's like we put a limit on God in our situation. Sometimes when we pray also, we think we are praying in line with God's will. But what do we say? We are saying, God, this is the situation. Why don't you work like this? It's our limitation on God. Whereas God is thinking, I will do exceedingly abundantly more than you could ever ask. Imagine. So Martha says, I know you can do a miracle. But in her heart, she's thinking it can never be resurrection. Or she's not open to the possibility that her dead brother can come back to life at that moment. So we see the dynamics here. Then Martha, she says, you know, then Jesus, he says to her, remember all the ayahs that Jesus has been speaking, making his claims to reveal that he is the Messiah. We saw that he claimed to be the Messiah. We saw that he asked people to believe in the signs, the miracles which he did. And at this point, again, he makes a claim. When Martha says that on the last day, I know that my brother will rise up. Everybody is going to rise up. Jesus, you know, he interlocks.  He says that what can be done at the last day, I am capable of doing right now for you because I am the source of resurrection.   So, he is the author, he is the author of resurrection part of God as well as the soul and life of God, which he has been promising to the people all along. He says, he who believes in me, though he may die, he shall live. Now, here is the promise of resurrection. Those of, you know, the people, those who believed in Jesus, if they have not had a resurrection like Lazarus, you know, biblically, it is possible, it is possible when somebody dies for them to be resurrected from the dead. But if something like that does not happen, we know scripture promises us about the resurrection of all the saints at the second coming of Christ. And of course, you know, we know that scriptures talk about the final judgment where everyone will be resurrected and even the sinners will be judged at that point.  And he who believes in me, you will not die, but you will live. So that is why in scripture, even when Paul writes to the Thessalonians, he says, okay, behold, let me tell you a mystery. We shall not always sleep, but we will rise up. So, he also uses the term sleep because in the Christian understanding, death is not the end. Death is not the finality over our bodies. There is going to be a resurrection of this physical body. And we know that at the second coming of Christ, that is going to happen. So, what Jesus was saying here was very true, very true. That anyone who is born again, they will rise from the dead. What an assurance, isn't it?  In fact, in 1 Corinthians chapter 15, Paul writes and he says, if we were people who did not have the hope for resurrection, we would be very, very pitiable or it's sad to have a faith like ours and to be passionate about our faith because there is no hope. So, at the end of our faith work, what is our expectation? We want to have hope with God. We want to have hope that we will see God's help right now here on the earth. We want to have hope that there will be a life after our death. But if there is no life after death, if there is no hope in that sense, it's really sad to carry on with that faith. And that's what Paul says in 1 Corinthians 15. He says that as Christians, if we don't have hope of resurrection, it's very sad to be passionate about our faith. But thank God, we are not those pitiable people, but our faith is real. And even when somebody dies, do we grieve that death? We do. We feel bad. We feel that pain of not being with our loved one. That is human, isn't it? Jesus, we'll see later that Jesus also weeps or he cries. And that's also wonderful because it shows us that Jesus does not disregard genuine human emotion. He feels our pain. He feels our sorrow. But at the same time, he's a God who has a solution for that sorrow.  So death is not the end. And those of us who have lost a loved one, I just want to encourage us that when we believe in Christ, and for Jesus said, he who believes in me, though he may die, he shall live. So our loved ones are not with us temporarily, but we will surely meet there once again. And then he goes on to say, and whoever lives and believes in me shall never die again. It's an implication for resurrection. And he asks, Martha, do you believe this? And today the question is for all of us. Do you believe this? Do we believe this? So anything about resurrection before we go forward, about Lazarus' resurrection or raising people from the dead? If you do have questions, then please do ask. Just proceed. So let's continue. When Jesus asks, do you believe this? Do you believe in resurrection? That I am able to raise people from the dead? Martha says, Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Christ. Kiran has a question. In heaven, can we know each other? So, Kiran, I think so. We can know each other because you remember, like Lazarus, not this Lazarus, but the poor man Lazarus. We read about it, right? When Jesus talks about giving your life, like living for God, he talks about the rich man and Lazarus. Do you remember? We see that Lazarus is in Abraham's bosom. So once he is dead, he is still being recognized. So that in itself is a clarification for us that even if we die, people will be recognized up in heaven. Good question. Let's move on. So Martha says, Yes, Lord, I believe. When she had said these things, she went away and she told Mary, she told her, look, the teacher is coming and he is calling for you. And like theologians, historians say that it's interesting that Martha calls a teacher because apparently those days, you had scholars who were mostly men. So Jesus playing the role of a teacher to ribbon is interesting. Because again, that shows that he went, he was ahead of his times. He was quite radical that way. So he imparted wisdom and knowledge even to women. So Martha tells Mary, teacher is coming, he is calling for you. And as soon as Mary hears this, she also, she was in the house. Maybe she didn't know that Jesus was on his way and he had already reached. So she also runs quickly and comes to him. Now Jesus, he had not yet come to town but was in the place where Martha met him. So he was on his way and looked. And at that point, there were a lot of shows who were with Mary and Martha who wanted to comfort them and look at the kind of comfort that people brought them. We are told that they were with them and we will see that they were all crying. They were crying. That was their way of expressing grief over what had happened in the family. So they were there and they were also trying to comfort. Now these people, they followed Mary because she was running quickly. So they thought that she is probably going to the tomb and she is going to spend some time crying and weeping over her brother. So it was a good thing. When people have lost their loved one, the culture those days was to be with them because it takes some time for that pain or that grief to accept in their hearts. So Mary runs to meet with Jesus. Now when Mary came, she saw him. She just fell down at the feet. And again, she just like Martha. What does she say? She said, Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. So it looks like both of them, Martha and Mary, they felt alone. They felt as if God had left them in their difficult situation. At the moment Mary says this, Jesus would have just thought to himself, why is it that you are not understanding? My nature and my deep love for you even in your difficult situation. So that's probably what Jesus would have thought in his mind. Now let's see what happens. So Mary also puts forward her grief and he says, Lord, why were you not here? And then he sees her crying and along with her were the Jews. And I told you there were people surrounding the bereaved family and they were weeping, it says. And if you just look at the tradition, the weeping would not have been just a little bit of crying, but they would have shouted and you know how some cultures, they like to show or express the sadness.  But at that time we see that Jesus he grown in the spirit and was troubled. So grown in the spirit was like, you know, it's like the, you could say a little bit of anger in himself, not at Mary and Martha but about the situation, that though there is hope, what is being played out on the ground, hopelessness among the people and the Jews also, the way they cried and they made it look like nothing can be done in this horrible situation.  So he's been speaking faith but he's observing a sense of hopelessness among the people. So he's troubled, he's like, people are not walking by faith in this situation. And so he gets to work, he directly gets to work, he says, okay, now just tell me where have you laid him because now he's going to see that miracle or command that miracle to take place. That they told him, okay, Lord, come and see. So when they invite him there, you see the people say the smallest was in the Bible, John 1135 says Jesus wept. You see, Jesus, though he's being rational, logical, he knows Lazarus is also going to rise from the dead. When we know that we are going to see a breakthrough in this situation, we should be bold, isn't it? But it shows the humanity of Christ. Knowing the results from God by the Holy Spirit, he knows Lazarus is going to come back from the dead. But just now he has interacted with Mary and Martha and it just shows how deeply he cares about what we are going through. In other words, you could say that the place where they were at in their grief, he felt it and that is the compassion of Christ. We've seen earlier that he saw, every time he saw somebody who was sick, we saw scriptures where, not in the book of John, but yeah, we know that he was moved with compassion and he healed the sick. So Jesus is one who is doing his ministry with great compassion. That is the beauty of it all. I just imagine if he was a miracle worker, science wonders miracles, wherever he went, he could have rebuked Mary and Martha and said, stop crying. Don't you know that I'm God, that I can do anything? I will raise Lazarus. I want you to be confident and bold. I don't like people crying. But he never put down what people are going through. So in that difficulty, when they are experiencing grief, it's beautiful to see that the Son of God who is filled with hope, who has come to give us hope, he still recognizes our humanity, our weaknesses and that's why Hebrew says that he is a high priest.  That Jesus, as man, he relates closely with us. Jesus wept. Jesus wept. And at that point, the Jews, Kiran is asking, is this the only place where he wept? It says he wept over here, Kiran. But I'm sure there could have been other instances where Jesus wept because he was human, right? If we wept here, my guess is that he would have shown his tears and cried other places also, I feel so. And I especially get somebody while praying, baby. You know, he would have cried but the Bible doesn't mention it again. Because Kiran is asking the question, is it the only verse where Jesus wept? Okay, so we've understood about the humanity of Christ and the Jews when they saw it, they were happy and they said, wow, it seems like this man really loved this ugly. Others, some of them, they are asking the question, so far we've seen Jesus do so many miracles. Do you think, that he could have kept this man from dying? So they're just trying to think, just like Mary and Martha, they said, this would have not happened Jesus. And similarly, the people also were wondering, maybe if this man was here, he healed the blind man. Do you think he could have healed Lazarus also? Now, Jesus, okay? Now, again, groaning in himself, it says. Now, why is he groaning in himself? Look, this one, this groaning, we could also understand it as we've studied in prayer and in the session, even prevailing. It's a way of praying. It's a way of deep prayer that you're engaging yourself in. So Jesus stood before the tomb of Lazarus and he deeply engaged with God. He deeply engaged with God. And this is a spiritual thing that I'm talking about, not just emotionally. Yes, emotionally also, he was very moved at that point, but spiritually, he is prevailing, he is groaning in himself at the dead situation that Mary and Martha are facing. So at that spot, he comes and look at this, he says, there was a stone. He says, take away the stone. Now, it is again beautiful how in some of the miracles that Jesus did, do he asks for people to have an action like water into wine. He says, fill those jars with water. So people had to do something for the miracle to take place. What if they had not filled it with water? So you can look at it in this way that sometimes God wants us to take a step and then the miracle will happen.  So there is a sense of, there is something the man needed to do. The power was already released upon him to be healed but the man needed to take a step. The blind man, Jesus made clay, put it on his eyes and you go, you wash it. So there is some action he wants from the people around. There is some something he wants us to do, you know, at certain times. Similarly, he says, take away the stone. People do something. What if they never took away the stone? Do you think Lazarus could have been raised from the dead? I think so. I think Lazarus could have been raised from the dead within the tomb. However, God wanted some action from the people. So he said, okay, take away the stone. The people did that. They took away the stone. But even at that point, you know, the faith level, it doesn't seem to be very high. So Martha, she says to Jesus, Lord, by this time, there is a stench for he has been dead for days. You know, look at the difference in the prayers of Jesus and Martha. At the tomb, Jesus is groaning. So in the spirit is travailing and we've said that when we travail, we give birth. The Paul wrote that I travail so that I can give birth to, you know, the church or the believers that Christ be formed in you. That's the reason I pray with faith in a deep way for the work of God to take place. Martha is also speaking to Jesus. So in a way, it's prayer, right? So she's speaking to Jesus. But it is a prayer of unbelief. What does she say? She says, it's a horrible situation, Lord. So she's saying, it's stinking. By now, there is a stench. It has been four days as if God does not know our horrible situation. So you see the difference. Jesus' prayer is full of faith and Martha's prayer is taking into consideration the environment, the facts. Is Jesus denying the facts? No. He never said what you're saying is not true. He never denied the facts. But let's see what he does. So Jesus says to her, listen did I not tell you, did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God. So Jesus is speaking faith. So when we hear the facts which may be discouraging what is our example from Jesus. Jesus is still speaking faith and he's saying, okay I know, I know it's challenging. But did I not tell you that if you believe you will see the glory of God. So he is awakening them to faith again. Okay?   They would raise their hands they would lift up their eyes look up to the sky and pray. So in that way, the traditional way Jesus is praying and he's saying Father that you have heard me and I know that you always hear me. But because of the people who are standing by I said this that they will believe that you sent me. So there is a prayer which Jesus is starting to pray. It's not a very elaborate prayer. In fact, Jesus says that he already has the confidence in his relationship with the Father. So again where should prayer arise from a place of confidence? From a place of strong confidence in our connection with God. And that is where Jesus' prayer began place of confidence. God, I already know that you love me that you hear my prayer. I don't even have to say so much, but I'm saying it so that the people will understand that I'm talking to you and you are the one who is doing the miracle. So that much of confidence Jesus had and his prayer should be birthed from a place of confidence in our relationship with God. So Jesus prayed from there and he went ahead and he cried out with a loud voice. You see Jesus prayed and after that what is he doing?  We see in Romans chapter 4 God is the God who calls those things that don't exist as so they did. So he speaks to dead situations. So he spoke to Lazarus at that point and he said Lazarus come forth. So it's a way of prophesying. It's a way of relief. I hope you can hear me everyone. Class are you able to hear me? Yes, you can hear me. Let's finish this. Just a couple of minutes left here. Okay, great. Thank you. There's one connection is dropped. It's connected to the other one. So let's continue. So Jesus calls out. He speaks to the dead situation. So we learn from this. I was saying that even when God created the world. He spoke. He spoke to nothing. He spoke to zero and there was something. So in the same way now the situation is zero because Lazarus is dead but we learn from God to speak to dead situations to speak to nothing and life flows from the word and you know God does his work. So that is why Jesus speaks to Lazarus and he commands. He says Lazarus come forth and at that point was he dead? Clearly he was dead because we notice that when the tomb was moved there was a stench. So only when people died would they would the body decompose. So obviously he was dead. But then we read here that he came alive. He came alive. So I am just going to read those last few lines here. He cried with a loud voice. Lazarus come forth and he who had died came out bound handed put with grave troops. Just think about that. What a testimony. And Jesus did it in the sight of also the Jews who were helping Mary and Martha. They were with Mary and Martha and they were grieving. So in front of everyone a wonderful miracle has taken place. The dead man came out once again. He said that God wants us to be involved in our miracle. So he told the people move the stone. That was the first instruction to the people. The second instruction here is he says lose him and let him go. Why? Because to put a dead person in the tomb what they would do is they would kind of roll them with cloth. So for the work to be completed in a sense he wanted the people to remove that cloth. Now how did he come back? What was his condition once he rose up from the dead? All that. We don't have details of it but we know that he recovered and he was doing well because in the next chapter we will read a little bit more about Lazarus and what an amazing testimony isn't it that a dead person could come back to life and this is what Jesus promises the believers as well. Those who believe we will see healing state plays we will see those who are possessed by demon spirits at free lepers being healed we will also see the dead being raised and this is something that Jesus also walked in the miraculous the supernatural in fact releasing the power of God upon a dead person. So we've seen through that now later on what begins to happen we would think that once people see a miracle like this that they will believe in Christ but not so after this miracle took place in the remaining of this chapter we find that Pharisees gathered at council because they got scared. What did they do? They said what shall we do for this man works many miracles if we let him alone like this everyone will believe in him and the Romans will come and take away both our place and nation. Earlier also that they were asking the wrong question the question was more about their safety and security on the earth and they were not concerned about what God was doing and God was releasing on the earth so even now they were threatened this man will gain popularity and their political positions would be lost so we see so much of unbelief wow somebody came to life from the dead at least now you believe because in John chapter 10 that's what Jesus said he said if you don't believe my claims I am saying I am the light I am who I am I am saying all these things but if you don't believe it at least believe the works and now Jesus has performed one of the mightiest works that you see this ministry Lazarus being raised from the dead at least now the Pharisees can believe but what is their response they are scared about their position and they continue to plot against Jesus at this point let's take a break we'll come back and we will continue with John chapter 12 is that okay everyone alright fine see you soon 10 minutes thank you


So here in Better World 2019 and who are you? Hi, I'm Krishnakumar. Everyone calls me KK. I work in product marketing and microchip technologies. FPGA business unit and we have our demo here of our next generation. Mi5, is that a microchip 5? Yes, Mi5 is a risk 5 ecosystem that microchip has been working on to build around risk 5 and to support our products and what we're doing for the next generation as well. So you're doing a demonstration right here of some risk 5. So this is a microchip chip, right? Yes, that is our Polar Fire FPGA. That's a low power extremely secure FPGA from microchip. And what we have here is a risk 5 CPU. This entire thing is a development platform for our next generation FPGA. So see, that's going to be based on a 5 core risk 5 CPU subsystem that's going to be along with low power, secure and reliable FPGA fabric similar to the Polar Fire FPGA that's right here. So microchip has a long history of doing FPGA or new research? So microchip recently acquired a company called MicroSemi. So MicroSemi is the one that has been working on FPGAs all these years. And how is the MicroSemi FPGA in the market? So MicroSemi FPGA, we focus on three main attributes and that's our key selling points. One is extremely low power. Our FPGAs are non-volatile memory based and we focus on providing ultra low power FPGAs. Our FPGAs are also focused on security. The highest levels of security, DPA safe and time-approved security blocks are built into our FPGAs. And the third best is safety and reliability. We are focusing on safety and safety critical applications and difference in aerospace. So our FPGAs are really popular there as well. So now you're just plugging in the Sci-Fi development board which is maybe, I mean you just plug it into this board here but in the future it will be under SOC. Yeah, so the next generation FPGA SOC that we're working on is going to be called the Polar Fire SOC. So we're working with our partner Sci-Fi and took this board from Sci-Fi which is plugged on to the expansion board made by MicroChef which has the Polar Fire FPGA. Together this emulates the performance of Polar Fire SOC. That's what we're working on and it's going to be launched soon. And what's the Hex-5? Hex-5 is one of our partners. We've been working with them for some time now and Hex-5 provides security solutions and security IPs and software. So what we have a demo here is for something that's very similar to trusted execution environment. Typically in a trusted execution environment you have two zones. One is a secure zone and the other non-secure zone. With the power of RISC-5 ISA we are able to build security features where you can have multiple zones built into a single processor. So you can have different sources, a route of trust in one of the zones. You can have your network stacks in another, a crypto libraries in another. If you're picking up open source software from the community you can make that a zone. So this is security protected. Each zone has its own defined security privileges and it cannot hack into the other zone. So it has to go through a nano kernel that's really small. So all this is built into the RISC-5 subsystem that's on this demo. So those micro-semi FPGAs have been using ARM on them too before? We have used ARM cores as well in the past. In the future too? We may or may not use, but we are really working strongly with the RISC-5 foundation and we believe in certain values that RISC-5 foundation has and it gives us a lot of value. So we will be working a lot with RISC-5 foundation. But that requires kind of like a new ecosystem of software, right? Yes. Which could be a challenge. We've been working on it for quite some time now and there's a lot of interest that the RISC-5 foundation has created and that's why we came up with this Mi5 RISC-5 ecosystem. We are building a strong ecosystem around RISC-5. So all these partners here, they're all eager to work on RISC-5. They have their software and tool chain and even some modules supported on RISC-5 based solutions. And considering the amount of interest that you're getting I don't see that it's a problem at all. So there will be Zephyr support? Yes, we support free RTOS, Zephyr, Minute. It's all available. Our partner ExpressLogic, again, RTOS is supported on RISC-5 CPUs. So this RISC-5 on this board, because it's one of the first ones it's not very powerful, right? Are you saying anything about how powerful you're going to implement it here? So what we're going to implement is a five core system. Four of those cores can run Linux and this is going to run up to 600 to 650 MHz each. Five core? Yes. And the fifth core would be a monitor core or a boot core and it can handle specific functionality for security purposes as well. And not just that, we've built a large cache coherent L2 cache and L2 memory system so you can implement deterministic RTOS running just alongside Linux as well. Deterministic? Yes, absolutely. So we have a few slides that shows the performance of determinism as well. We can achieve absolute determinism by tweaking the performance of the RISC-5 CPU and you can really achieve determinism. What does it mean, determinism? So you know exactly when a certain event is going to occur. So that's pretty much what determinism is. Usually when you're using an operating system all your tasks are pipelined and you often have performance differences between in terms of timing you will have differences in performance. This is a snapshot of how much time it would usually take to execute an interrupt service routine. Whereas in our system, we are with coherent cache we are able to achieve the exact same performance. Can we put that slide back to you? Alright, no problem. So we are able to achieve complete determinism while RTOS as well as operating system. So the crucial consideration here is low power consumption? Low power, highly secure and safety critical applications. That's our focus.
