Continual Burnt Offering: Daily Meditations, August 11 (11:25-26)
“Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die. Believest thou this?” — John 11:25, 26.
TWO very precious truths are unfolded in these words of our Lord to Martha, the sister of Lazarus. Death does not end all. When Jesus returns as the Resurrection and the Life all who have died in Christ will live again, raised up from the dead in the likeness of Him who died for them and rose again and all who still abide in the body in that day shall never die, but will be changed in a moment and caught up to meet the descending Saviour in company with all the risen saints. This is our blessed Hope. Do we believe it? When faith lays hold of this glorious revelation all things become new.
