I Am the Resurrection and the Life
“I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.”
Jesus, in John 11:25 · King James Version (public domain)
What it means
Standing at a friend's tomb, Jesus does not merely promise resurrection someday; He says He IS the resurrection. Life is not a force He controls but a Person we can know. In Him, death is not the last word for anyone who believes.
Meet Him
These seven sayings are Jesus telling us, in His own words, who He is. Read them in John’s Gospel on The Living Bread, ask Simon anything you wonder about, and come to the One who says I AM. You are welcome exactly as you are.
