Sermon Notes For The Resurrection That Brings Hope. 3-30-25 Part 1.
Let’s turn to The Gospel of John Chapter 11
Now, notice The Gospel of John 11:
23 Jesus said unto Martha, your brother will rise again!
24 But Martha said unto Jesus, I know that he will rise again in the Resurrection at the Last Day.
25 And then Jesus said unto Martha, I am The Resurrection and Life! The one who believes in Me though they may have died, they shall live on!
26 And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?
27 And Martha said unto Jesus, Yes Lord, I believe that You are The Christ, The Son of God who is to come into the world.
Perhaps you could use a Hope Infusion in regards to, the matters, the challenges, the difficulties, the lost, the uncertainties, the craziness, and the disappointment, that you or someone you care about is facing right now like, a spiritual, or emotional, or mental, or a psychological attack of some kind.
A church family issue, or problem, or conflict. Recovering from a disaster. An untimely job layoff, or a reduction of your working hours. A financial problem. a legal problem. a medical challenge of some kind.
Being A Caregiver for a love one. A marital issue, or problem, or conflict. A family issue, or problem, or conflict. Or, the untimely death of a loved one or a dear friend.
Once again, maybe you could use a hope infusion in regards to, the matters, the challenges, the difficulties, the lost, the uncertainties, the craziness, and the disappointment, that you or someone you care about is facing.
Listen, it's been said that you can live 40 days without food. About 4 days, without water. And only 4 minutes, without air or oxygen. But you & I cannot live 4 seconds, without faith and hope in God! But what exactly is hope?
Is hope just a feel-good word? Is hope just wishful thinking, or wishing for the best? "I hope to have a good day today!”
But hope in this case, is just wishful thinking, because there is no guarantees, that you or I will a good day today!
On the other hand, is hope just an optimistic attitude of the mind that is based on an expectation and a desire for a positive outcome to affect the events and the circumstances in one's life, or for the world at large?
But Biblical hope that God has designed for His people, is totally different from the things that were just mentioned.
For example, Biblical hope is a trustful, faith filled expectation, or the anticipation
of a favorable outcome under God's guidance, purposes and plans for you.
Biblical Hope is the conviction, that no matter the circumstances or situation, God's will for our lives is for good and not for evil, to give us a future and a hope that is an anchor for the soul.
Now, notice Lamentations 3:
21. This I recall to my mind, And therefore, I have hope.
22. It’s through The LORD’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not.
23. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.
24. The Lord is my portion, says my soul, therefore, I hope in Him!
25. The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him.
26. It is good that one should hope and wait quietly for the Salvation or Deliverance of The LORD.
Now, notice again, Lamentations 3: 24 Jeremiah said, The LORD is my portion says my soul; therefore, I hope In Him The LORD.
Listen, in the same way, hope like faith requires an object greater than itself to depend on,
to trust in, to rely on.
If you & I have hope in hope, or hope in others, or hope in a certain individual, this will only lead us unto a great disappointment.
But hope in God is much different, because God Himself becomes the object of our hope.
God Himself becomes your only hope. Actually, you can spell hope, J,E,S,U,S.
In the Star Wars movie entitled, "A New Hope," A main character called, Princess Leia is being held as a prisoner by the villain, Darth Vader.
However, Princess Leia is able to send a secret message by way of an android named, R2-D2.
When R2-D2 finally arrives to it’s destination, an old but reliable friend, a retired Jedi Master named, Obi-Wan Kenobi, he hears Princess Leia’s plea for help when she says, Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope!
Question, who is your only hope?
Well, for the Prophet Jeremiah he said for Himself, tthe LORD is my portion says my soul; therefore, will I hope in Him.
The Resurrection that brings hope.
Now, notice again The Gospel of John 11:
23 Jesus said unto Martha, your brother will rise again!
24 But Martha said unto Jesus, I know that he will rise again in The Resurrection at the Last Day.
25 And then Jesus said unto Martha, I am the Resurrection and life! The one who believes in Me though they may have died, they shall live on!
26 And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?
27 And Martha said unto Jesus, Yes Lord, I believe that You are The Christ, The Son of God who is to come into the world.
I’m not sure how many of us know how important faith is to hope, and hope is to faith?
Did you know that both faith and hope are like inseparable twins who are dependent upon one another? Show you what I mean!
Notice 1 Peter 1: 21. Whom by Christ do believe in God, that raised Him up from the dead,
and gave Him Glory that your faith and hope might be in God.
Notice Hebrews 11:1. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Now, notice Romans 15: 4. For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of The Scriptures might have hope.
I Peter 3: 15. But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer
to every man that ask you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and respect.
Suppose someone you knew for whatever reasons, is feeling hopeless and is in despair.
But they can see in you, that you have something, that they do not have? Can they see that you have hope, no matter what is going on!
Remember I Peter 3: 15 says, to be ready always, to give an answer to anyone that asks you, the reason of or for the hope that is in you.
Do you think anyone would like to have that which you have, Hope!
There is a famous painting of a blind woman in rag-like clothing, playing a harp.
Although the harp that she was playing only had one string, she still was able to made music to Praise The Lord. And in the eyes of many this was an audacious act on her part.
Because the blind woman could have just sat there feeling sorry for herself, complaining, bitter, resentful, suicidal.
But instead, even though there seemed to be no hope, she made the choice to believe in
The God of Hope. And having the audacity to Hope in The Lord regardless of her circumstance. She truly believed that God had something better for her, whether in this life, or the life to come.
Listen, when we look through our biblical eye-glasses, and our eyes are steadfast upon The Lord. Only then, we will find the joy, the peace, and the strength we have been looking for.
Hope in The Lord will provide for us the way forward, even when times look bleak and uncertain.
See Psalms 119: 114. You are my hiding place and my shield: I hope in Your word.
See Psalms 130: 5. I wait for the LORD, my soul does wait, and in His Word do I hope.
See Psalms 31: 24. Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all you that hope in The LORD.
See Jeremiah 29:
11. For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
12. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.
13. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.
An interesting Lab-Rat Psychological Study.
Two psychological researchers took a group of lab rats and placed them in a large tub of water in which they were able to swim around in but were not able to escape from.
Also, the researchers continued to spray the rats in the tub with very cold water. This first group of lab rats unfortunately ended up drowning, after just 17 minutes of swimming.
Next, the researchers took another group of lab rats and repeated the same experiment under the same conditions.
Now, 16 minutes into the experiment as this group of rats were also about to drown, the researchers reached in and removed each lab rat from their Unfortunate circumstance.
Then the researchers dried the lab rats off, placed them in a cage, and fed them, let them recover for a few days. But then the lab rats were put back in the tub of water and sprayed with very cold water again.
However, this time, the lab rats were able to swim around for 37 hours before they show signs that they were about to give up as the two researchers again reached in and removed each lab rat from their ordeal.
The two psychological researchers after this experiment concluded that the reason for this extra effort by this second group of lab rats who were able to swim for 37 hours, unlike the first group of rats who only survived seventeen minutes.
It was because the second group of lab rats had been saved, rescued, delivered, and they had a hope, or an expectation that they would experience salvation or deliverance from the researchers.
Listen, The Bible says in Lamentations 3:26, It is good that a person should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation or deliverance of the LORD, (Yahweh or Jehovah).
So always know whenever we are faced with some kind of Unfortunate circumstance, that according to The LORD’s Will, Plan, And Purpose, He can Deliver, Liberate, or Preserved Anyone from Anything, whose Faith and Hope remain in Him, (The LORD).
Sermon Notes For 4-6-25 For The Resurrection That Brings Hope Part 2
Let’s turn to The Gospel of John Chapter 11 and let’s continue with our newest topic that we have entitled, “The Resurrection That Brings Hope!” (Repeat)
*When you think about it, once a year we have the privilege to renew our minds regarding a undisputed truth, an irrefutable fact! *Once a year we have the privilege to refocus on something that really matters both, in the here and now, and in the future that is to come! *And lastly, once a year we have the privilege to remember what someone did that changed everything!
Now, let’s notice again The Gospel of John 11: 23 Jesus said unto Martha, your brother will rise again! 24 But Martha said unto Jesus, I know that he will rise again in The Resurrection at The Last Day. 25 And then Jesus said unto Martha, I am The Resurrection and The Life! The one who believes in Me though they may have died, they shall live on! 26 And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this? 27 And Martha said unto Jesus, Yes Lord, I believe that You are The Christ, The Son of God who is to come into the world.
Perhaps you could use a hope infusion in regards to the matters, the challenges, the difficulties, the lost, the uncertainties, the craziness and the disappointment that you or someone you care about is facing right now.
Perhaps, a spiritual or emotional, or mental, or a psychological attack of some kind. A church family issue, or problem, or conflict. Recovering from a disaster. An untimely job layoff, or a reduction of your working hours. A financial problem. A legal problem. A medical challenge of some kind. Being a caregiver for a love one. A marital issue, or problem, or conflict. A family issue, or problem, or conflict. Or, the untimely death of a loved oneor a dear friend.
Once again, maybe you could use a hope infusion in regards to the matters, the challenges, the difficulties, the lost, the uncertainties, the craziness and the disappointment that you or someone you care about is facing.
But what exactly is Hope? Is Hope just an optimistic attitude of the mind that is based on an expectation and a desire for a positive outcome to affect the events and the circumstances in one's life?
Yet, Biblical Hope that God has designed for His people is totally different from what most people think of. *Biblical Hope is a trustful, faith-filled expectation, Or the anticipation of a favorable outcome under God's guidance, purposes, and plans. *Biblical Hope is the conviction that no matter the circumstances or situation, God's will for our lives is for good and not for evil, in order to give us a future and a hope, an anchor for the soul. *Finally, Biblical Hope requires that God is to be the only one in whom we place our hope in!
Now, turn to Lamentations Chapter 3. And let me show you an example of a fail-proof hope someone had while in the midst of a challenging situation and circumstances, that we can have also!
Now, let’s notice Lamentations 3: 21. This I recall to my mind, and therefore, I have hope. 22. It’s through The LORD’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. 23. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. 24. The Lord is my portion says my soul therefore, I hope in Him! 25. The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him. 26. It is good that one should hope and wait quietly for the Salvation or Deliverance of The LORD.
Now, notice again, Lamentations 3: 24. Jeremiah said, The LORD is my portion says my soul; Therefore I hope In Him (The LORD).
Now, see Jeremiah 29: 11. For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. 12. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. 13. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.
And see Psalms 31: 24. Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all you that hope in The LORD.
Now, let’s go back to The Gospel of John 11: Now, let’s notice again The Gospel of John 11:25. And then Jesus said unto Martha, I am The Resurrection and The Life! The one who believes in Me though they may have died, they shall live on! (Stop here)
Now again, Jesus said unto Martha, I am The Resurrection and The Life! (Stop here) Now, what our Lord Jesus said unto Martha regarding that He Himself that He was The Resurrection and The Life, which is 1 of 7 “I am statements our Lord Jesus claimed for Himself as being God.
(Remember) in Exodus 3:14. That God revealed His primary name unto Moses saying, I AM-WHO-I AM! And Moses this is what you are to say unto the Israelites, “I AM” has sent me unto you!
Now, here in The Gospel of John, there are 7 metaphorical “I am statements” that our Lord Jesus uses to describe Himself and His purpose.
“I am the bread of life” (John 6:35, 41, 48, 51). In this chapter, Jesus establishes a pattern that continues through John’s gospel—Jesus makes a statement about who He is, and He backs it up with something He does. In this case, Jesus states that He is the bread of life just after He had fed the 5,000 in the wilderness. At the same time, He contrasts what He can do with what Moses had done for their ancestors: “Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died. But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which anyone may eat and not die” (verses 49–50).
“I am the light of the world” (John 8:12; 9:5). This second of Jesus’ “I am” statements in John’s gospel comes right before He heals a man born blind. Jesus not only says He is the light; He proves it. Jesus’ words and actions echo Genesis 1:3, “And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.”
“I am the door” (John 10:7 and 9, ESV). This “I am” statement stresses that no one can enter the kingdom of heaven by any other means than Christ Himself. Jesus’ words in this passage are couched in the imagery of a sheepfold. He is the one and only way to enter the fold. “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber” (verse 1, ESV).
“I am the good shepherd” (John 10:11, 14). With this “I am” statement, Jesus portrays His great love and care. He is the One who willingly protects His flock even to the point of death (verses 11 and 15). When Jesus called Himself the good shepherd, He unmistakably took for Himself one of God’s titles in the Old Testament: “The Lord is my shepherd” (Psalm 23:1).
“I am the resurrection and the life” (John 11:25). Jesus made this “I am” statement immediately before raising Lazarus from the dead. Again, we see that Jesus’ teaching was not just empty talk; when He made a claim, He substantiated it with action. He holds “the keys of death and the grave” (Revelation 1:18, NLT). In raising Lazarus from the dead, Jesus showed how He can fulfill Yahweh’s promise to ancient Israel: “[God’s] dead shall live; their bodies shall rise” (Isaiah 26:19, ESV). Apart from Jesus, there is neither resurrection nor eternal life.
“I am the way and the truth and the life” (John 14:6). This powerful “I am” statement of Christ’s is packed with meaning. Jesus is not merely one way among many ways to God; He is the only way. Scripture said that “The very essence of [God’s] words is truth” (Psalm 119:160, NLT), and here is Jesus proclaiming that He is the truth—confirming His identity as the Word of God (see John 1:1, 14). And Jesus alone is the source of life; He is the Creator and Sustainer of all life and the Giver of eternal life.
“I am the true vine” (John 15:1, 5). The final metaphorical “I am” statement in the Gospel of John emphasizes the sustaining power of Christ. We are the branches, and He is the vine. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit unless it is joined in vital union with the vine, only those who are joined to Christ and receive their power from Him produce fruit in the Christian life.
There are two more “I am” statements of Jesus in the Gospel of John. These are not metaphors; rather, they are declarations of God’s name, as applied by Jesus to Himself. The first instance comes as Jesus responds to a complaint by the Pharisees. “I tell you the truth,” Jesus says, “before Abraham was born, I am!” (John 8:58, NLT). The verbs Jesus uses are in stark contrast with each other: Abraham was, but I am. There is no doubt that the Jews understood Jesus’ claim to be the eternal God incarnate, because they took up stones to kill Him (verse 59).
The second instance of Jesus applying to Himself the name I AM comes in the Garden of Gethsemane. When the mob came to arrest Jesus, He asked them whom they sought. They said, “Jesus of Nazareth,” and Jesus replied, “I am he” (John 18:4–5). Then something strange happened: “When Jesus said, ‘I am he,’ they drew back and fell to the ground” (verse 6). Perhaps explaining the mob’s reaction is the fact that the word he has been provided by our English translators. Jesus simply said, “I am.” Applying God’s covenant name to Himself, Jesus demonstrated His power over His foes and showed that His surrender to them was entirely voluntary (see John 10:17–18; 19:11).
Now, for the next several minutes, I would like us to learn from a situation that a family went through that most of us will probably go through as well. Especially when the time comes and it is our family member who knows the Lord, But they are ill or have Medical condition.
And unfortunately, that illness or that Medical condition God Allows it to take their lives, and they pass away even though we prayed, even though we asked The Lord to help and to heal, and even though we ask God please don’t let them die! And now, We are feeling sorrowful, disappointed, angry, and maybe even hopeless.
In those moments when we don’t understand, (Question) how can you and I keep our hope and trust in The One who said I am The Resurrection and The Life?
Now, see again The Gospel of John 11:1. Now a certain man was sick who Lazarus of Bethany, from the town of Mary and her sister Martha. (Stop here)
Now, also see Luke 10: 38 Now, it happened as they went that Jesus entered a certain village; a certain woman named Martha welcomed Jesus into her house. 39 And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus' feet and heard His word. 40 But Martha was distracted or overwhelmed with much serving or preparing. And Martha approached Jesus and said Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone, therefore, You tell her to help me!41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, You are worried and troubled about many things.42 But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her. (Stop here)
Now, let’s go back to The Gospel of John 11: Now, see again The Gospel of John 11: 3 Therefore, the sisters sent unto Jesus saying, Lord behold He whom You love is sick. 5 Now, Jesus loved Martha and her sister Mary and Lazarus. (Stop here) (Note) notice the birth order of these three siblings.
Now, see again The Gospel of John 11:3. Therefore, the sisters sent unto Jesus saying, Lord behold He whom You love is sick.
Question, Why would God allow something bad to happen to someone He loves? Well, see Revelation 3:19. Our Lord Jesus is speaking. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten, therefore be zealous and repent. (Stop here)
Remember, in those moments when we don’t understand, (Question) how can you and I keep our hope and trust in The One who said I am The Resurrection and The Life?
Now, let’s go back to The Gospel of John 11: Now see again, The Gospel of John 11:6. So, when Jesus heard that Lazarus was sick, Jesus stayed two more days in the place where He was at! (Stop here) *This is totally wrong. * This is totally unacceptable.(Question), God’s delays from our perspective are they always His Denials to our request?
Well, see Isaiah 55: 8 For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways, says the Lord. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.
Remember, in those moments when we don’t understand, (Question) how can you and i keep our hope and trust in The One Who Said I am The Resurrection And The Life?
Now, let’s go back to The Gospel of John 11: Now, see again The Gospel of John 11: 17 So when Jesus came, He found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb four days. 20 Then Martha as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming she went and met Jesus, however Mary stayed in the house. 21 Then Martha said unto Jesus, Lord if You had been here my brother would not have died! 32 Then when Mary came where Jesus was, and saw Him, she fell down at His feet,saying unto Him Lord, if You had been here my brother would not have died. (Stop here)
(Question) Should we allow our grief, our sadness, our disappointment, to cause our mouths to slander God?
Well, see Job 1: 20 Then Job arose: tore his robe and shaved his head; and Job fell to the ground and worshiped. 21 And Job said: Naked, I came from my mother's womb, And naked shall I return there.The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; Blessed be the name of the Lord. 22 In all this Job did not sin nor charge God with wrong.
Now, let’s go back to The Gospel of John 11: Now, see again The Gospel of John 11: 33. Therefore, when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping,He groaned in the spirit and was troubled. 34 And He said, Where have you laid him? They said unto Him, Lord come and see. 35 Jesus wept. 36 Then the Jews said, see how He loved Lazarus! 37 But some of the Jews said, could not this man who opened the eyes of the blind, could He not also have kept this man from dying? (Stop here)
(Question) Should I let the criticisms of God by others influence me or change me, that I would abandon my relationship with God?
Well, see Job 2: 8 And Job took for himself a potsherd with which to scrape himself while he sat in the midst of the ashes. 9 Then his wife said unto Job, Do you still hold fast to your integrity? Curse God and die! 10 But Job said unto wife, You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. Shall we indeed accept good from God and shall we not accept adversity? In all this Job did not sin with his lips!
Remember in those moments when we don’t understand. (Question) How can you and i keep our hope and trust in The One who said I am The Resurrection And The Life?
Sermon Notes For 4-13-25 For The Resurrection That Brings Hope Part 3
The Resurrection That Brings Hope Part 3 Let’s turn to The Gospel of John Chapter 11 And let’s continue with our current topic that we have entitled, “The Resurrection That Brings Hope!” (Repeat)
Now, today as we begin this Holy Week observance starting with Palm Sunday today, but then on next Sunday we will rejoice knowing that our Lord Jesus Christ has been truly resurrected from the dead. an undisputed truth. an irrefutable fact!
For this is something that really matters both in the here and now and in the future that is to come! But most importantly, we should never forget that what our Lord Jesus Christ did in His Resurrection from the dead changed everything!
Now, let’s notice again The Gospel of John 11:25. And then Jesus said unto Martha, I am The Resurrection and the Life! The one who believes in Me though they may have died, they shall live on!
Now, this Sunday and next Sunday with God’s help, we are going to focus upon 2 words that our Lord Jesus used to describe Himself here in John 11: 25, what I suppose we all take for granted and most likely we are unclear of their significance and importance.
Now, notice John 11:25. The 2 words that our Lord Jesus used. *Our Lord Jesus used the word “Resurrection,” But not the word, “Resuscitation.” *And then our Lord Jesus used the word “Life,” but not the Word, “Consciousness.”
Now again, I suppose these 2 words “Resurrection,” and “Life,” You and I probably take for granted, and most likely we are unclear of their significance and importance, especially these 2 words which originated from the original language of The New Testament, Greek or Koine Greek.
Here is a short article regarding the importance of God, selecting Koine Greek as a language in order to reveal His will, plan, and purpose from the Scriptures Koine is simply the Greek word for “common.” Many people may recognize the word koine from the word koinonia, which means “fellowship.” Fellowship is having something in common. Koine Greek was simply the common language of the Mediterranean world in the first century. As Alexander the Great conquered the “civilized world” of his time, he spread Greek language and culture.
Much like English has become today, Greek became the most common and pervasive “international language” of the day. Since most people could understand Koine, it was uniquely suited to proclaim The Gospel throughout the world.
Not only was Koine Greek common in the sense it enjoyed widespread usage throughout the Roman Empire, but it was also common in the sense that it was not the language of the intellectual and academic elites.
Classical Greek was used by the educated class. Koine Greek was the language of the working man, the peasant, the vendor, and the housewife—there was nothing pretentious about it. It was the vernacular, or vulgar language, of the day.
The great works of Greek literature were written in Classical Greek. No scholar today would care to study anything written in Koine Greek, except for the fact that it is the language of the New Testament. God wanted His Word to be accessible to everyone, and He chose the common language of the day, Koine.
“Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. . . . Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him. It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. Therefore, as it is written: ‘Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord’” (1 Corinthians 1:20–22, 26–31).
Paul was not referring specifically to Koine Greek in this passage, but God’s use of a lowly common language to express the incredible truths of the gospel seems to fit the pattern well.
I pray that today may be the day that you and I will no longer take for granted, nor be unclear of the significance and the importance of the word “Resurrection,” and the word “Life,” that our Lord used for Himself.
Now, if you don’t mind, please allow me to start with the word “Life”, first! And then depending on our time, we will see how far we get regarding the word “Life,” that is used throughout The New Testament.
And then we will move on to our next word “Resurrection” perhaps today, but especially next Sunday, Resurrection Sunday 2025!
Now, in the New Testament the word " Zóé " refers to life in its fullest sense, encompassing both the physical and the spiritual dimension. "Zóé" life is often used to describe Eternal life that is granted through faith in Jesus Christ unto those who believe entering into a personal relationship with God. This "Zóé" life is not merely an unending existence, but a quality of life that is abundant and fulfilling, because of a personal relationship with God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. "Zóé" life Only comes from and is sustained by God's own self-existent life that He possesses.
Therefore, The Lord graciously shares His Gift of "Zóé" life with those He has Saved, who are created in His own image with the capacity to know The Lord Intimately.
Now, let’s see 1st John 5: 11 And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life or "Zóé" life, and this life is in His Son. 12 He who has the Son has "Zóé" life. But the one who does not have The Son of God does not have "Zóé" life. 13 These things I have written unto you who believe in the Name of the Son of God, and that you may know that you have eternal life, so that you may continue to believe in the Name of The Son of God.
Remember, "Zóé" life is often used to describe Eternal life that is granted through faith in Jesus Christ unto those who believe entering into a personal relationship with God
Now, see The Gospel of John 10: 9 I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, They will be Saved and will go in and out and find pasture. 10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. But I have come that they The Saved may have "Zóé" life and that they may have (it ) "Zóé" life more abundantly.
Remember, "Zóé" life is not merely an unending existence, but a quality of life that is abundant and fulfilling, because of a personal relationship with God, Father, Son, And Holy Spirit.
Now, see The Gospel of John 5: 21 For as The Father raises the spiritual dead and gives "Zóé" life unto them, even so the Son gives "Zóé" life unto whom He Wills. 24 Most assuredly I say unto you, the one who hears My Word and believes in Him The Father who has sent Me, Jesus said They have everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment,Because they have passed from death into "Zóé" life. 25 Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the spiritual dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live. 26 For as The Father has "Zóé" life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have "Zóé" lifein Himself.
Now, let’s go back to The Gospel of John 11.
Now, let’s notice again The Gospel of John 11:25. And then Jesus said unto Martha, I am The Resurrection And The Life! The one who believes in Me though they may have died they shall live on!
Anastasis literally means, to stand up, or to stand again apart from physical death and not just resuscitated. • Anastasis Literally means Not Being subject to physical death any longer. •Never to die physically again. •But instead, to reside in a supernatural body, a glorified body, in which the individual’s nature, their essence and substance is transformed and is radically different than before. And an example of those definitions I gave, are clearly seen in the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. Show you what I mean!
Now, see The Gospel of John 20: 11 But Mary stood outside by the tomb weeping, and as she wept she stooped down and looked into the tomb. 12 And she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. 13 Then the angels said unto her, Woman why are you weeping? And Mary said unto The angels, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him. 14 Now when Mary had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, But Mary did not know that it was Jesus! 15 Then Jesus said unto Mary, Woman why are you weeping? And Who are you seeking? And Mary thinking that the one speaking to her was the groundskeeper, Mary said unto Him, Sir if You have carried Him away tell me where You have laid Him, and I will take Him away. 16 Then Jesus said unto Mary, "Mary!" Mary turned and said unto Jesus, "Rabboni," which means, Teacher! 17 But then Jesus said unto Mary, Do not cling unto Me! Because I have not yet ascended unto
My Father. But you go unto My brethren and say unto them, I am ascending unto My Father and your Father, and unto My God and your God.
Now remember, the word “Resurrection” or “Anastasis” can means to stand up, or to stand again apart from physical death and not just resuscitated. • Anastasis Literally means not being subject to physical death any longer. •Never to die physically again.•But instead, to reside in a supernatural body, a glorified body, in which the individual’s nature, their essence and substance is transformed and is radically different than before. And an example of those definitions I gave, are clearly seen in the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
Now, see The Gospel of John 20: 19 Then, the same day at the evening, being the first day of the week (when the doors were shut) where the disciples were assembled, because they fear the Jews. And unexpectedly, Jesus came and stood in the midst and said unto them, Peace be with you! 20 When Jesus had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw it was the Lord.
Now, see The Gospel of John 20: 26 And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, (the doors being shut), yet Jesus stood in the midst, and said, "Peace unto you!" 27 Then He said to Thomas Reach your finger here and look at My hands; and reach your hand here and put it into My side. Don’t be unbelieving but believing! 28 And Thomas answered and said unto Jesus, My Lord and my God! 29 Jesus said to him, Thomas, because you have seen Me you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.
Now, let’s see The Gospel of Luke 24: 36 Now as (They) the two men who were on the road of Emmaus said these things to the disciples. Jesus Himself stood in the midst of them, and said to them, Peace to you. 37 But they were terrified and frightened, and supposed they had seen a spirit. 38 And He said to them, Why are you troubled? And why do doubts arise in your hearts? 39 Behold My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself. Handle Me and see for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have. 40 When He had said this, Jesus showed them His hands and His feet. 41 But while they still did not believe for Joy, But marveled. Jesus said to them Have you any food here? 42 So they gave Jesus a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb. 43 And Jesus took it and ate in their presence.
