'Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead , yet shall he live;' (John 11:25).
The story of Lazarus is a well known one in the Bible. He and his sisters Martha and Mary were friends of Jesus, who loved them. Lazarus became sick and died, and after four days Jesus raised him from the dead. This was more for benefits of those around including His disciples, so that they may truly believe that God had sent him. He was speaking with Martha who was more focused on the telling Jesus the problem, than demanding a specific solution. We too can be so focus on the problems we faced, that we forget that God is much bigger that the problem and is our solution to them. When Jesus told her Lazarus would rise again, she understood it to mean he would live again someday. But Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life: he that believes in me, though he was dead, yet shall he live." Christ at this time, was able to refocus her faith from a faithful God who will one day fulfill His future promises to an incarnate God who is always present. Jesus said, 'I am', an expression used by God; laying claim to being God, and equal with God. Jesus has the power to save us, because He is God. We are all sinners and need a Savior, Christ our Lord. Christ died for all that we may live again; but the condition is, we must believe in Him, who is the resurrection and the life. When we die in Christ, we shall live again. On resurrection morning when Jesus shall come, the dead in Christ shall rise and those on the earth who lived in Christ shall be caught up to meet Him in the air. What a glorious day that will be! Are you looking forward to that day? Accepting Jesus as your personal Savior from sin, walking by faith in Him, living a life of justification and sanctification; having communion with Him as you live by faith on Him; you are expected to have and shall have life eternal. Let us look to the incarnate God, who is ever present in every circumstances of our lives; knowing He is not only the God of tomorrow's promises but the one who is with us through all of life changes. Today, hold onto Jesus as he give us strength, that we may grow in grace and learn to depend on Him no matter the circumstances we may face.
Have a wonderful day 🌹🌹
