I Am the Resurrection and the Life


Listen Later

Pastor Carolyn's sermon focuses on Jesus' declaration in John 11:25-26: "I am the resurrection and the life." She begins by providing the context of this statement, recounting the story of Lazarus' resurrection. Jesus delayed visiting his ill friend Lazarus for two days, allowing Lazarus to die so that the subsequent miracle of raising him from the dead would demonstrate Jesus' power over death and affirm his divinity.

Pastor Carolyn explains the significance of Jesus' words to Martha, noting that "I am the resurrection" means Jesus has the power to bring the dead back to life, and "I am the life" signifies that he grants eternal life to believers. This dual assertion highlights Jesus' control over both physical and spiritual death. She elaborates on various instances of resurrection in the Bible, emphasizing that believers will receive immortal bodies in the future resurrection and experience spiritual rebirth in the present.

The sermon concludes with an encouragement for believers to strengthen their faith and take comfort in Jesus' victory over death. Pastor Carolyn underscores the certainty of eternal life through belief in Jesus, urging those who haven't yet made a decision for Christ to do so. She assures the congregation that faith in Jesus brings the promise of eternal joy and life beyond death.
