John 11:21-27
Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life
21 “Lord,” Martha said to Jesus, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died. 22 But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask.”
23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
24 Martha answered, “I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; 26 and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?”
27 “Yes, Lord,” she replied, “I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.”
Jesus dwelt on earth with Grace and Truth...Truth cannot be killed or destroyed...The Sacred and Holy Things cannot die off and have not died off...They are here yesterday, today, and forever...If we abide in His Teachings, we then are truly His disciples, and we will know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free....
So when Jesus died it was not the end of the One who said He is Truth...Because Truth cannot be killed...The Logos of Life continued and rose from the dead...He rose from the dead to tell His Disciples and those who follow Him for them to pour out His Holy Spirit upon others to all nations and to the ends of the earth...
The foundation of Christianity is the belief that Jesus did not die and the Truth of the Resurrection Story...Jesus said, "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."...
So God raised Jesus...For after God sent Jesus to earth, He has set a day when He will judge the world with justice by the Man He has appointed...He has given proof of this to everyone by raising Him from the dead...Because Jesus was raised from the dead for those who believe in Him will experience resurrection life and share in eternity in heaven with God and His Son...
