Jesus
What is the significance of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead? It is more than a miraculous event. It is a "sign" of God's promise to
raise up all who have died in Christ to everlasting life. That is why Jesus asked Martha if she
believed in the resurrection from the dead. The Christian creed, which is the
profession of our faith in God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and in the
saving power of God, culminates in the proclamation of the resurrection of the
dead on the last day and in life everlasting.
This is our faith and our hope. "If the Spirit of him who raised
Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead
will give life to your mortal bodies
also through his Spirit which dwells in you" (Romans 8:11). God gives us
the power of his Holy Spirit that we may be made alive in Christ. Even now we can experience the power of the
resurrection of the Lord Jesus in our personal lives. The Holy Spirit is ever ready to change and
transform us into men and women of faith, hope, and love. Do you believe that
the power of Jesus' resurrection is at work in your life today? Let the Holy Spirit strengthen within you the
life and joy of God and the hope of heaven.
