The resurrection and the life

“Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in Me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?’”

John 11:25-26

      Martha had just commented to Jesus about her belief that there will be a resurrection on the last day. These words were Jesus’ explanation of what will happen on that day: Those who have died believing in Him will live again, and those believers still alive at the time will never die. Christ was announcing rapture day and what He will accomplish then! He is the resurrection for every saint who has died, and the life for the church’s final generation that will not taste death. I think that most of us believers today are in that generation He told Martha about. Maranatha!
