THEME: CHRIST OUR RESURRECTION
John 11:25-26
“Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?”
INSIGHT
-We can trace back resurrection of the dead from the Old Testament to the New Testament. Elijah raised the dead son of the widow of Zarephath (1 King 17:17-24), Elisha raised the dead son of the Shunamite woman (2 Kings 4:18-37), Peter raised Dorcas (Acts 9:36-42), Paul raised Eutychus (Acts 20:7–12), Jesus raised the son of the widow of Nain (Luke 7:11–17), Jesus raised Jairus’ daughter (Luke 8:49–56) and the epitome of it all; Jesus died and resurrected on the third day (Mat 28:1-20). All these was and is still possible; through the power of the Holy Spirit. In the above text, we find Lazarus who was taken ill and Jesus was requested to come and perform a healing miracle. Mary and Martha were anxiously waited for Him but He took longer that they expected and Lazarus their brother died. Despite this unfortunate event, Martha was still expectant having witnessed the power of Christ, and she said to Him, “Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.” Jesus demonstrates that He is the resurrection and the life and He who believes in Him,though he may die, he shall live and whoever lives and believes in Him shall never die. He called Lazarus forth from the dead and many believed in Him. As Christians, the resurrection of Christ is the foundation of our faith, knowing that Christ is all we need in our lives now and in the uncertain future. He is able to resurrect every dead situation in our lives, families, nation and the world, when we trust in Him. Christ is our resurrection and life, and because He lives, we will live forever with Him.
