DAY 3 OF 4

What does Jesus being "the resurrection and the life" mean?

Martha was in distress because her brother, Lazarus, had been dead for four days. She knew that he would rise again in the future resurrection of God's children when He establishes His kingdom on earth (John 5:25-29). However, Jesus was about to perform a miracle before her very eyes. He brought Lazarus back from the dead, and this miracle is meant to foreshadow His resurrection after His death on the cross. It also points to the reality that, for those who place their faith in Jesus, their death on this earth is simply the beginning of true life in the presence of God.

What does Jesus being "the way, and the truth, and the life" mean?

Jesus shares this with His disciples during His final passover meal (commonly known as the last supper). They are scared because He tells them that He is going to leave them, but His promise is that one day they would be together again in "His Father's house" (John 14:2). Jesus is making it clear that faith in Him is the only pathway to spending eternity with God.

How To Connect With The Source Through Relationships:

God places specific people in our lives to help us in the journey of following Jesus. Take a look at your life, and make sure you have these four relationships:

Mentor: This is a Christian who is mature in their relationship with God (such as a pastor or youth leader) who is willing to help you in your journey of following Jesus.

Friend: This is a Christian who knows you well and is in a similar stage of life as you. This person should be able to ask you tough questions and share hard truth with you.

Protégé: This is someone who is not yet a Christian or is new in their faith. Your role is to continually point them to Jesus and help them in their journey of growth.

Church: We are not designed to do life alone. The church is Jesus' body here on earth, and we are called to both receive and contribute to this local community.

Big Idea:

Jesus is the only source of resurrection and relationship with God. Understanding this gives us hope because we realize that the pain we experience on this earth is temporary. One way to connect with the source is through our mentor, friend, protégé, and church relationships.
