Resurrection! Truth & Life John 11:25-26
Good morning everyone! God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!
Resurrection! What is resurrection? Do you know? Have you really thought about it? Did you know resurrection is in the Bible 41 times, and all in the New Testament? Jesus spoke of the resurrection 8 of the 41 times. In the Hebrew/Aramaic resurrection is "ethan" (ay-thawn') which means to continue, permanent.
Jesus lived, died, and resurrected under the Roman rule. The Romans were very cruel people; and the Jewish leaders were hypocrites and false leaders (at this time). Jesus was tried, convicted, and cruicified at the hands of the Jewish leaders and Roman leaders. The Passion of Christ was graphic, but real of the times back then. Watch it again if you possibly can.
John 11:25-26 Jesus states He is the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in Jesus will live, even after dying. Jesus has power over life and death, as well as power to forgive sins. Jesus, who is life can resotre life.
JESUS DIED FOR YOU, SO YOU WILL HAVE LIFE EVERLASTING IN HEAVEN!
Some food for thought.....Why was the rock rolled away at the tomb? Jesus could now transcend through rocks, walls, anything in his new body. Yet, with this new body He could eat and be touched. The rock was rolled away for all to see! For you and I to see - see what? The RESURRECTION!!! Then what? BELIEVE IN JESUS!!!!
Jesus suddenly appeared to people, why? He is able to be wherever, whenever, at any time. His appearance to ones of ancient times was significant and He instructed them to go and make disciples in the world. Are you doing that now? Making disciples? Jesus asked Martha, and I ask you: "Do you believe that everyone who lives in me (Jesus) and believes in me (Jesus) will never ever die?
Ask yourself these same questions. Thank you for reading. Take Jesus seriously, He takes you seriously. Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
