“Is there life after death?” A question that has often crossed the minds of humanity, and a question that all beliefs seek to answer. It is against this backdrop that Christ declares that He is “the resurrection and the life”. During our last service, we looked at the death of Lazarus in John 11 and the context of this “I Am” statement. We learned that this statement—amidst despairing circumstances—declares how Jesus is in control; not even death is out of His reach. It is a statement that also confesses His compassion towards our finite existence, rectifying in Himself our separation from God the Father. Finally, we learned how this statement is a shout of victory, declaring how Christ has conquered even the greatest of humanity’s enemies; death itself. In the end, Christ as the resurrection is the reality that all of humanity must face, some to everlasting life, and some to everlasting contempt (Daniel 12:2). But to the one who answers the call of Christ, this “I Am” statement is a comfort and hope that at the end of this life, our loving Savior awaits us with open arms.
