I Am the Resurrection and the Life

“It is clear that she derived very little consolation from the fact of a distant and general resurrection. She needed resurrection and life to come near her home and to become more of a present fact.” -Charles Spurgeon. David Brenneman preaches from John chapter 11, in which we see Jesus raise Lazarus from the dead. In the midst of sorrow, suffering, loss, grief, confusion, despair, darkness, and in the face of death itself, Jesus declares to Martha (and to us), "I am the Resurrection and the Life."
