John 11:25

am the resurrection, and the life.

She had declared her belief in the resurrection. Christ makes the grand, striking declaration that he is the RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE, words that never could have fallen from the lips of. sane mortal. They mean that he is the power which opens every grave, gives life to the sleepers, and calls them forth to. new existence; that the life that endows men with eternal being is in him and proceeds from him. In the light of his own resurrection they mean that when he burst open the tomb he did it for humanity and in him humanity has won the victory over death. His utterance was far above what mere man could utter; it proclaimed. divine being and power, but the resurrection of Lazarus,. few moments later, was the demonstration of the truth of his words. His utterance was grander than man, Godlike, but immediately followed by. Godlike act in demonstration. It is another mode of declaring the same truth uttered when he told the Samaritans that he was the Water of Life, or the Galileans that he was the Bread of Life.
