Jesus Is..., 20

~ Jesus Christ Is The Life ~

Passages  ~  “Thomas said to Him, ‘Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?’  Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life.  No one comes to the Father except through Me’” (John 14:5-6). 

“Martha said to Him, ‘I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.’  Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life.  He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.  And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die.  Do you believe this?’  She said to Him, ‘Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world’” (John 11:24-27).

Significance  ~  By His resurrection Jesus Christ proved He has power over death.  He has promised that just as He rose from the dead so too will those who have placed their faith in Him for eternal life.

Comment  ~  The Apostle John in his writings (his Gospel and Epistles) makes it clear that God is Love, Light, and Life! 

the key question:  “Who do you say that I am?” (Matthew 16:15).  This is the most important question you will ever answer.  If you do not answer it, or answer it incorrectly, you have made the biggest mistake anyone can make!
