'He Will Raise the Dead!' - John 5:21

[Jesus continued,] "For just as the Father gives life to those he raises from the dead, so the Son gives life to anyone he wants."

—John 5:21 NLT

Key Thought​

Death was our unfathomable unknown as mortals. We could not escape it. We could not go around it. We could not see beyond it. Then the Father sent his Son, Jesus. Jesus conquered death. Jesus destroyed it as our unknown. He showed us what is on the other side of death. Just as surely as the Father raised Jesus from the dead, Jesus will also raise from the dead those who love him. He has promised it. He has demonstrated it. He now longs to do it, and one day he will raise the dead. Then, as God's children, we will experience his glory firsthand.

Today's Prayer​

Father, thank you for not letting death have the final word. Thank you for demonstrating your power over our death through Jesus' resurrection. Give me the courage to live with conviction and faithfulness knowing that my life will not be claimed by my death, but by my Savior, with whom I will live and reign forever. In his name, Jesus Christ my Lord, I pray. Amen.

A wonderful promise Jesus has given to all of us. Thou shall not die, but live. Just as Jesus rose from the dead, we also shall be raised from the dead.

 

[baumann]

Our life belongs to Jesus. He has given to us and He will take away when He decides to do it. Just believe and wait for Him. Wonderful things shall happen when we give our life to Him. I exalt Thee o Lord, Your name is so great all over the world.
