“I AM the resurrection and the life.”

Jesus replies with what appears to be a basic statement about life after death.

Martha recited the Jewish belief in the resurrection of the dead on the last day.

The Old Testament talks about a general resurrection on the last day.

We begin in the oldest book written in the Bible, the book of Job.

Finally, Daniel pinpoints the time when this resurrection will occur.

Jesus says that HE is the one who will raise the saints from the dead on the last day.

JOH 6:39-40

Jesus also had spoken about the gift of eternal life.

Eternal life begins at the moment that a person believes in Jesus Christ.

Jesus is also the one who GIVES that eternal life.

Resurrection isn’t only a future event. It’s a Person who is always with you.

If you are a believer, He is in you, and you are in Him. He always intercedes for you.

EPH 1:15-23
