Jesus Is the Resurrection and the Life

As soon as St John tells us who the Word of God is, he says, “in Him was life.” (John 1:4) 

Jesus Himself made this even more explicit when He was talking to Martha before raising Lazarus from the dead. 

She thought He was talking more or less abstractly about the general resurrection in some distant future. 

But Jesus had to correct her by saying: “I am the Resurrection and the Life.” This means much more than saying He has the power to raise the dead.  

That power was something He even gave to His disciples during His earthly ministry.  

But to say that “He is the Resurrection and the Life” tells us that this belongs to His very essence and identity.  

It is more even than the assertion that He has been raised from the dead into glory. 

The very power and meaning of Resurrection is part of His inner constitution; because of it He could give the Holy Spirit to His disciples by merely breathing on them after He returned from the grave. 

He isn’t the Resurrection because He rose from the dead; He rose from the dead because He is the Resurrection! 

Thank you Jesus that you are the resurrection and life. 

Thank you for loving us and giving us the authority over sin and death in your name. 

Thank you that you promised to raise us from the dead as you had been raised. 

We love you, we praise your name with thanksgiving. 

Amen
