The Resurrection & the Life
Jesus, after his friend had died, has an insightful  dialogue where he introduces himself as the resurrection and the life.

On his arrival, Jesus found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days. Now Bethany was less than two miles from Jerusalem, and many Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them in the loss of their brother. When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him, but Mary stayed at home.
 
"Lord," Martha said to Jesus, "if you had been here, my brother would not have died. But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask."
 
Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again."
 
Martha answered, "I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day."
 
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?"
 
"Yes, Lord," she replied, "I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who is to come into the world."
 
- John 11:17-27

FROM GENESIS TO JESUS: 
an interactive study of what the Bible is all about.

 
Genesis to Jesus Class Starts 2/7

From Genesis to Jesus is a seven-lesson study about the major theme in the Bible. We have pared down this study to what we think is absolutely essential for you to get a clear picture of what the Bible (and Christianity) is all about.
