I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE
Presented by Minister Lisa Kane
Published on 1.5.25
Objective:
The objective of this teaching is to help believers understand Jesus as “the resurrection and the life” through the account of Lazarus in John 11. It aims to show that Christ’s power is greater than sickness, death, and despair, and that faith in Him allows us to experience spiritual life here and now. By examining the responses of the disciples, Martha, and Mary, the teaching highlights different approaches to Jesus and demonstrates how faith, awareness, and trust in His word open the door for God’s glory to be revealed.
Synopsis:
In this teaching, Lisa Kane explores John 11 where Jesus declares, “I am the resurrection and the life.” Using the story of Lazarus, the message emphasizes that God allows certain trials and delays not to harm us, but so His glory may be revealed in greater measure.
The disciples represent believers who follow but often lack awareness, Martha reflects those who question God’s timing yet still acknowledge His authority, and Mary portrays those who, despite deep faith, sometimes grieve without recognizing Christ’s present resurrection power. Through each encounter, Jesus reveals different dimensions of belief—leading to the ultimate miracle of Lazarus being raised from the dead.
The teaching drives home the truth that Jesus is not only the promise of eternal life after death, but the source of life here and now. As believers, we are called to walk in that resurrection power, to trust His timing, and to glorify God in every situation—knowing that nothing, not even death, can overcome the life of Christ in us.
