John 11:25

When You Need Deeper Faith

08/19/2024

I know, I know, I know. We sing about Jesus’ resurrection. But is it ever hard for you to get your mind around the fact that Jesus was literally dead and came back to life? Do you ever stop and ponder if you believe what you do because you’ve always been told that or if it is your own conviction?

In John 11:25, Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies.” In this verse, Jesus was talking to a woman named Martha who was saying with her mouth she believed, but wasn’t expecting Jesus to raise her deceased brother.

Jesus is patient with us just like He was with Martha. If you’re struggling to believe or you have questions, Jesus is always present so you can always talk to Him. Ask Him your questions. Listen quietly in His presence. Open your Bible and ask Him to guide you through it. Keep seeking. He’s a prayer away and able to lead us to deeper faith.

Lord, You are the RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE. We profess our faith with thanksgiving that You are ever-present and able to lead us to a deeper faith in You.

I know, I know, I know. We sing about Jesus’s resurrection from the dead. But is it ever hard for you to get your mind around the fact He was raised from the dead?  Do you ever stop and ponder if you believe what you do because you were raised that way or if it’s own conviction?  When Jesus said the words in John 11:25, “‘I am the RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies,’” He was talking to a woman who was saying with her mouth she believed but who wasn’t anticipating that Jesus would raise her deceased brother. Jesus is patient with us just as He was with Martha. If you’re struggling to believe and have questions, that means you’re seeking to understand, which is good. Jesus will help you find Him. Keep seeking. He’s a prayer away.

Lord, You are the RESURRECTION and the LIFE. We profess our faith with thanksgiving.

Praise to Christ, the RESURRECTION & LIFE

09/30/2017

“Jesus said to her, ‘I am the RESURRECTION and LIFE; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies,’”

John 11:25

Why do you think Jesus described Himself in so many ways when He walked the earth? Why do you think He repeated Himself with only a few changes in wording? Was it because we needed to hear again and again WHO He is? Heaven is a real place and followers of Christ who are no longer with us are alive in Heaven. Believers on earth are headed to eternal life in heaven. All because Jesus is the RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE. As Christ was raised, we’ll be raised. Pause and meditate on Christ’s words and that He wants us to have assurance that this life is not all there is. So much awaits us in heaven, and for that, we rejoice!

Lord, You are the RESURRECTION and the LIFE. We pray our life points others to You.

RESURRECTION & the LIFE

09/16/2013

“Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies,’” 

John 11:25

Why do you think Jesus described Himself in so many ways when He walked the earth? Why do you think He repeated Himself with only a few changes in wording? Was it because we needed to hear again and again WHO He is? In case we haven’t heard it enough for it to sink into our souls, perhaps it will today. Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life. Pause and meditate on Christ’s words and that He wants you to know that about Himself. Think of what your response should be to Him. 

Lord, You are the RESURRECTION and the LIFE. I pray my life, not just my words give You praise!
