Episode 624: The Resurrection and the Life

Today’s episode focuses on Jesus' statement "I am the Resurrection and the Life" in John 11:25, and the promise of eternal life for those who believe in Him. We highlight ten passages of scripture for meditation, including John 3:16 which emphasizes the love of God for humanity and the importance of faith in Christ, and Romans 5:8 which emphasizes Christ's sacrificial love for us. Other verses underscore the importance of trusting in Jesus and His resurrection, pursuing a life of holiness and obedience, sacrificial love for others, and the dynamic, life-changing power of hope in Christ. The episode concludes by encouraging listeners to answer Jesus' all-important question, “Do you believe this?” with a resounding “Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God who was to come into the world.”
