The Resurrection and the Life

In the presence of a dead man, Martha was told, “I am the resurrection and the life” (John 11.25), declaring it was not a future hope but present reality. Jesus called Lazarrus from the grave, showing His power over death. Jesus later endured the cross and rose from the grave himself, proving that He was the resurrection and the life—as much as a physical as a spiritual reality.

The resurrection Jesus of encompasses the physical life, the spiritual life and the eternal life. Jesus claimed that He was the I Am who spoke the earth into motion and breathed life into man. He is the giver of physical life and the restorer of spiritual life, transforming those enslaved by sin into the children of God. He is the assurance of eternal life.

“The one who believes in me will live, even though they die, and whovever lives by believing in me will never die.” (John 11.25)
