Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life:

he that believes on me, though he die, yet shall he live.

John 11:25

            God alone has power over death.  With the resurrection of Jesus came the hope and promise for all believers. One day, we too will have victory over death and will live with Him in eternity. What a wonderful joy and reassurance to know that Jesus is the resurrection! He has overcome death. The grave is not our finishing point, but rather the beginning of a new and glorious life with Him.

            Jesus also said He is the life.  He created life, He is the sustainer of life, and He offers eternal life. In Him, we have abundant life here on earth and a joyful anticipation of life with Him forever. Life is meaningless, purposeless, and hopeless without Him. He gives us meaning in life, and quality of life. When our lives seem overwhelming or frustrating, we can look to the One who is Life for renewal, guidance, and strength. Praise you, Father, for your victory and power over death. You are our Resurrection and our Life. We find our life in you.

Questions to Ponder:

Have I placed my faith in Jesus as the one who is the resurrection and the life?

Do I look to Him to give me strength and direction in my life?

Have I thanked Him for my life and for those around me?
