John 11:25
Read this verse in depth with cross-references and study notes
Standing before Lazarus's tomb, Jesus makes one of His most powerful declarations about His identity and mission.
Jesus doesn't merely promise resurrection in the future; He claims to BE the resurrection and the life right now. Those who believe in Him have already passed from death to life spiritually, and physical death becomes only a temporary sleep before eternal awakening.
Apply This Today
Live today knowing that if you believe in Christ, you possess eternal life now—not just as a future promise but as a present reality.
Prayer
Lord Jesus, You are the resurrection and the life. I believe in You, and I trust that even though I may die physically, I will live eternally with You. Amen.
