Click to read: John 11:25

It’s an old truth.  It’s one we’ve heard before.  But it’s still as powerful today as ever.  Jesus said, “I am the resurrection, and the life.”  He alone is the One upon whom we can hang our hopes for eternity. Have you really thought about it lately?  Have you thought about the fact that you are going to die?  Have you had a sobering moment in which you pondered the fact that eternity (or the lack of eternity) depends solely on the truth of these words?

Jesus’ statement is the basis for our peace.  It’s the basis for hope when loved ones pass away.  It’s our rock solid foundation for being able to face persecution, threats and even death.  We can face the unknown because Jesus is the resurrection and the life.

Few statements can fill our hearts with courage like this one.  So be encouraged today.  Remember that whatever comes your way, He holds not only the future but also your very existence in His hands. And in Him, you will never die.

Be blessed.
