I am the resurrection and the life
(John 11:25-27)


The resurrection of Jesus is the biggest miracle and blessings to human. Jesus was crucified and rose again after three days of his death. The resurrection of Jesus is the core and life of Christianity.

1. The death to come up to us
Lazarus, Mary and her sister Martha lived in the town, Bethany. One day, Lazarus fell sick. The news was delivered to Jesus but he arrived four days after Lazarus was dead. Death comes to everyone unexpectedly. We cannot go over it. Many people fall into despair before sufferings and decide to commit suicide. However, to Christians, death is the course to get to heaven escaping from our physical life. Therefore, we should not be frustrated when we meet extremely difficult moment by fixing our eyes on to Jesus, the source of our life.

2. Jesus Christ who is the source of life
Jesus said to Martha who was deeply frustrated because of her brother's death. Jesus said to her , "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" Jesus is the source of resurrection and life. Therefore, we should know that heaven is prepared for those who believe in Jesus. We should live with resurrected Jesus. Once we meet the resurrected Jesus, our life will change.

3. Jesus who performs the miracle
Martha and Mary obeyed Jesus who asked them to believe to see the miracle. So they moved the stone in front of the tomb. And Jesus asked the dead man to come out of the tomb. When Jesus called in a loud voice, ‘Lazarus, come out’, the dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face. Jesus said to them, "Take off the grave clothes and let him go." Likewise, we should command the chains such as diseases, curses and poverty of our life to be taken off and driven out of our life. Then, we can have real freedom and experience the miracle of Jesus.
