Daily Walk Through the New Testament

August 26

Read John 10:34-11:27

When God revealed His identity to Moses, He used the words, “I AM,” meaning He is the One who is and always will be. When Moses asked God how he could reassure the Israelites, the people he was seeking to deliver from Egypt, that God had truly sent him, God instructed him to say, “I AM has sent me to you” (Exodus 3:14).
When Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life,” (John 11:25), He was reassuring Martha He was indeed God in the flesh. He was also saying He is the only way to resurrection and eternal life. He is all you need in this life and the next. He is not the “I was” or the “I have been.” He is the present tense “I AM”!
Jesus said, “whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die” (John 11:26). The promise is limited to those who will believe. Today, if you believe in Jesus, the One who is and always will be, praise Him for such a promise — the dead shall live again!
