I Am: The Resurrection and the Life

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?” (John 11:25,26)

Dear Jesus,

Something inside of us cannot accept that we someday simply cease to exist. Our hearts tell us that we live on after our death. In truth, scripture teaches the resurrection. We believe that our resurrection only happens in you and by your power. May these children look in hope to their resurrection in the last day and may their lives be motivated and governed by that hope. Help them to believe this to the very core of their being. May they look to you for true life in this life and for life everlasting in the life to come.

Amen
