Message Title: I Am The Resurrection And The Life
Scripture: John 11:24-25
Jesus said unto her, I am
the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead,
yet shall he live
John 11:25
This a story in the Bible where Jesus
was called upon to come and pray for someone. Jesus tarried a few days then
went to see the gentleman. When Jesus arrived the gentleman had already died.
Jesus enters a conversation with the dead man’s sister, where he tells her that
her brother will rise again. She agrees that on resurrection day he will rise
again.
Martha saith unto him, I
know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
John 11:24
Back to verse 25 he tells her I am
the resurrection.
Many times in our lives we lose
things. We become old, and we think it can’t happen now. Bad decisions, stop
certain things from happening. We lose friendships, family members, job
opportunities the list could go on and on. After the loss of whatever it is or
was, we get religious. Just like the sister in this story. We say to ourselves
and whoever else will listen, “God will restore it all on judgement day.” When
Jesus is saying to us, “I am the resurrection.” We our waiting for a
restoration that has already happen. It’s not that we our waiting for him, it’s
him, waiting on us. When you put your faith in Christ Jesus, the things your
lost start to be restored. Sometimes fast, sometimes slow. Nevertheless, God
will start to restore you. It may not be with that particular company or person
but, the hole the loss caused gets filled.
Stop trying to live with loss and
start living with the fact you serve a living God who is still in the business
of restoring his children.
