August 18^th – John 11:1-36

It’s a long passage, so please go and give it a read over or two!

Okay… not much I can say on this one, as it’s a retelling of an event. Although I will point out one of the better-known passages in the Bible. John 11:25-26 where Jesus says he is the resurrection and the life, and that all who believe in him will never die. Anyone reading this who already believes then understands and believes this. Those who do not believe may be confused. The life Jesus speaks of is not an immortality on earth here. It doesn’t mean that we can take a shot in the chest and just heal up, stand up, and keep going. It means that after we die, though our bodies may perish, we continue to live on with God (although our bodies will be restored at Jesus’ second coming). Jesus was resurrected to offer us all the gift of eternal life, for he overcame death. This is what he meant when he said that.

That’s all for today! God bless! Shalom!
