Ancient Job asked, “If a man dies will he live again?” Jesus assured a grief stricken woman mourning the death of her only brother,
“I Am the resurrection and the life; he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live” (John 11:25). He then raised her brother to life. Christ’s promise is for all mortal, sinful mankind who will believe and receive Him as the Resurrection and the Life. Just as Lazarus was dead and decaying in a cold, dark tomb, so we all are dead in “trespasses and sins”, separated from a holy God. You and I need resurrection.
