I Am The Resurrection And The Life

This sermon explores the profound hope Jesus offers through His declaration, “I am the resurrection and the life.” It begins by acknowledging the grief and brokenness of death, contrasting three views of life after death: nothingness, reincarnation, and judgment. Christianity stands apart as Jesus provides both eternal life and abundant life now. Through John’s Gospel, we see Jesus as the source of life, offering hope beyond the grave, recognition of brokenness, and fullness of life on earth. The story of Lazarus demonstrates His power over death, pointing to His own resurrection and the promise of new creation. This message reminds us that Jesus transforms our understanding of life and death, filling us with hope, purpose, and the assurance of eternal life.
