I Am the Resurrection

As we take up this wonderful story, which so affects us all, we should look to our Lord Jesus, as the Friend of saints and sinners alike. That is, He is the only hope that Mankind has, of eternal life. This will become apparent as I speak to you about His being the resurrection and the life. Without our being raised from the dead, by the glory and power of Christ, our redemption would not be complete. And so we need to think about what Jesus did here, this mighty miracle, and the words and actions of our Lord which led up to it. For they affect us personally. At this time, then, I would like to open up this truth of Jesus being the resurrection and the life by our looking together at two things. 1st –Jesus' Personal Instruction to Martha in His words of Promise. 2nd – At Jesus' Personal Instruction to Mary in His Weeping. These instructions to these dear followers of Christ, affect us personally here today.
