Resurrection: Jesus Lives Forever ... A Promise To Keep

John 11:25


Jesus said to her, I am [Myself] the Resurrection and the Life. Whoever believes in (adheres to, trusts in, and relies on) Me, although he may die, yet he shall live; - (Amplified Bible)

Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believes on me, though he have died, shall live - (Darby Translation)


How many of you ever promised someone so huge that it made even you doubt the outcome? Has someone promised you something that it seemed it was impossible for them to keep? I can't help but think about yesterday's topic of faith. Consider Jesus' resurrection … key takeaway ... faith.

Jesus' resurrection is the key to the Christian faith. Why? He promised us a multitude of things, and it's up to us to believe Him and have faith. One of those multitude of things is Jesus rose from the dead. He kept His promise; thus, you can be confident God will keep all of His other promises as well. You can also be certain of your own resurrection because God has power over death. Hallelujah! His resurrection is the basis of your faith because by it He proved to be more than just a good human leader. Jesus demonstrated these things through His promise:

1. Showed that He is the Son of God
2. Brings eternal life to all who believe in Him
My friends let His resurrection inspire you to lead not just with human abilities but with the spiritual qualities that come from your living Lord (Personal Savior).
