AUDIO VERSION

This powerful verse for today is part of the conversation between Jesus and Martha after the death of her brother Lazarus. 

And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this? John 11:26

In these words, Jesus offers a profound promise and an invitation to trust. He is not just talking about physical death but something bigger, a promise of eternal life.

Imagine standing there, hearing Jesus say these words. He is asking us to trust Him, to believe that in Him, death is not the end. This promise transcends our earthly understanding. When we live in Jesus and believe in Him, we embrace a life that goes beyond the grave. This is not just about the future but impacts our present life.

Living and believing in Jesus means more than a one time decision; it is an ongoing relationship in which we trust in Him daily, knowing He has overcome death. This trust transforms our fears and anxieties about death and the unknown. We can face challenges with the peace that comes from knowing our ultimate destination is secure.

Jesus asked Martha, Do you believe this? It is the same one He asks each of us. It is a personal question that requires a personal response. It invites us to deepen our faith into a living, breathing relationship with Him.

This Bible verse encourages us to reflect on the quality of our faith in our daily lives. Are we living in a way that reflects our belief in the promise of eternal life? Do we let this promise shape our actions, choices, and interactions with others?

The promise of eternal life is a source of hope and strength. It reassures us that no matter what we face, Jesus is with us, offering us life that never ends. This assurance brings comfort in times of loss, peace in times of uncertainty, and joy in the everyday moments of life.

Hold onto the promise of eternal life, live it out, and let your life be a testament to your hope in Jesus. His words are a comfort and a call to a deeper, richer, eternal life with Him.

Heavenly Father, as a child of Yours,  and as I live in Jesus and believe in Him, I  embrace a life that goes beyond the grave. This is not just about my future but impacts my present life. When I live in Jesus and believe in Him, I embrace a life that goes beyond the grave. This is not just about the future but impacts my present life. Thank You, Father, for Jesus and my life that is lived in You. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.
