"I am the resurrection,
and the Life: he that
believeth in me,
though he were dead,
yet shall he live."
Jesus, in John 11:25
Jesus demonstrates His Deity by resurrecting the dead...
Only God can do that.
Only LIFE can produce life from death.
______________________________
The way I see it,
things are rather
topsy turvy...
Life on this earth daily
dishes out death...
It's all around us.
But then,
Ah, but then...
AFTER death...
comes LIFE,
Eternal Life.
"And this is the testimony;
that God has given us eternal life,
and this life is in His Son.
He who has the Son has life;
he who does not have the Son of God
does not have life.
These things I have written to you
who believe in the name of the Son of God,
that you may know that you have eternal life... "
1 John 5:11-13
From this, I gather that
there is no life outside of Christ...
it is in Christ that Life is found.
Those who have chosen to believe in Jesus
Christ as their Savior and Lord...
now have Him as their Life.
Then this becomes the plan,
that we should daily,
continually give up our earthy death-life
that we might exchange it for the heaven-Life...
here and now.
His Life for mine...
And then this LIFE we have in Him
will produce what HE has ordained
from before the foundation of the world.
Works of the flesh (fire-works) will diminish,
And in their place...
A work suited and tailor-made for us,
producing an abundance of fruit.
Life springs forth from death,
but only, only, in Christ!
"For God so loved the world (you)
that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whosoever (you) believes in Him,
should not perish,
but have everlasting Life."
John 3:16
