I Am Paper; I Am the resurrection and the life.
I Am the Resurrection and the Life The apostle John, illuminated by the Holy Spirit, cites eight statements spoken by Jesus that shines evidence of His deity and His authority over all things. They are found in the book of
John. I Am the Bread of Life (John 6:35), I Am the Light of the World (8:12; 9:5). I Am the
Door (10:9), I Am the Good Shepherd (10:11), I Am the Resurrection and the Life (11:25). I Am
The Way, the Truth, and the Life (14:6), I Am the Vine (15:5), and finally, I Am…I Am (4:26,
8:24, 28, 58; 13:13, 19; 3:14; 18:5, 6, 8). This essay is a research of the fifth I Am statement “I
Am The Resurrection and The life” (11:25). Chapter 11 of the book of John records one of the most touching accounts in the life of
Jesus, the raising of Lazarus from the dead. Lazarus and his two sisters had become Jesus’ special friends, this is the first mention of His relationship with this family in John’s gospel.
Martha and Mary were disappointed because Jesus didn’t arrive in time to heal Lazarus from his illness, and eventually sought comfort from friends and other Jews (John 11:19) concerning the their brother. His death was an opportunity for Jesus, to once again demonstrated the true definition of resurrection as well as Jesus’ deity. Although Jesus had the opportunity to see
Lazarus in his time of sickness and also heal him when he heard that he was ill (John 11:6), he decided on staying two days in the same place where he was. The death of Lazarus is one of the most touching accounts in the life of Jesus, why? Because he had healed many but in this particular sign and miracle Jesus wept when he knew that Lazarus died. Jesus clearly demonstrated not only His deity, but also his hypostatic union as
