"Jesus said to her, 'I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me, even if he dies, will live.'"
~John 11:25
In what feels like an especially dark time in this world, with news report after news report flashed all over our screens of death after death in country after country, we could really use the comfort which comes with remembering this name of God. Jesus tell us He is the resurrection and the life, showing us that He has victory over death and through Him, we have eternal life.
Because of the fall, death will come to all of us. But death isn't the end. Death doesn't get the final answer. Through Christ's sacrifice, death has lost its sting. Praise God for that good news!
I want to keep today's devotional short and sweet, because I want you to take the time to be on your knees before the Lord and sit in the beauty of this truth. Sit here for a bit and meditate on it. Rest here for a while and allow Jesus to comfort you with the reality of what He has done for you. This will be an important few moments for you to pause and reflect before entering back into your life today and all the news and updates that may come your way. Linger here a while with the resurrection and the life, and allow Him to infuse His abundant life into yours.
God bless you!
