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?" (John 11:25-26)
Martha beleived the Messiah would come one day. She believed there would a resurrection when the dead would come to a new life. (John 6:35-40) Jesus let her know that HE was indeed the resurrecton. He is the life for all those who believe.
Matha responded, Yes, Lord, I believe that YOU are the Christ! (John: 11:27) Jesus went on to raise her brother Lazarus from the grave.
Of course this points to the power CHrist has over life and death. He alone is the way to eternal life. There is no other substitute . . no other sacrifice . . . no other way!
One day each of us will come before the throne of Almighty God . . . all the dead . . . great and small . . . saved and unsaved . . . and we will judged according to our works. (Revelation 20:11-15)
Where will you stand? Is your name written in the Book of Life or will hell be your eternal destination? NOW is the time to decide as Martha once did . . . while you are living! Do YOU believe?
