Do You Believe This

Scripture

John 11

25 Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying. 26 Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will never ever die. Do you believe this...?”

Observation

Do you believe this? Do you believe that Jesus Christ is the resurrection and the life? Do you believe that anyone who believes in Him will live, even after dying? Do you believe that everyone who lives in Him and believes in Him will never ever die?

Well I don't know about you, but I sure do! I will never ever die. I am going to live forever. It has nothing to do with my goodness, but it has everything to do with Jesus and His goodness!

Lazarus had to go through death's door twice. I don't think he was happy about being brought back to life. It brought joy to his sisters' lives but I am sure he had mixed feelings about it. Realizing that it was all for God's glory I guess he was able to understand why Jesus brought him back to this earth. Once I am in Heaven I sure don't want to be pulled back to this old rotten world. How about you?

Application

I will continue to share this story every chance I get especially at funerals! It is my favorite story in all of the Bible.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, Jesus is the resurrection and the life. I am going to live forever because of what Jesus did on the cross for me. Thank You for dying on the cross in my place. Thank You for giving me eternal life. I am never going to die, and even when I die I will continue to live. Nothing will keep me in the grave either!
