Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again” (John 11:23).

Do you believe in Jesus’ ability to raise the dead?

Job suffers much. Yet he trusts in God’s ability to raise the dead. He shares, “And after my skin is destroyed, this I know, that in my flesh I shall see God” (Job 19:26). Mary also believes in the future resurrection of the dead; however, Jesus has an immediate resurrection in mind. He assures her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live, and whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?” (John 11:25-26). Friend, do you believe this? Moreover, Paul stresses the importance of the saints’ resurrection. Based upon this truth, he pens, “But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Corinthians 15:57).

Employment Point: Believe on Jesus’ promise and power to raise the dead.
