I count on this truth. This hope keeps me trucking along. A covenant king who promises resurrection to the dead.....what a gift. All the rest is just bonus...bur resurrection...the prize...love it!!!!!!!!!!

 I read something once in a book and don't remember the name of the author or title of the book, but she lost her husband in a balloon accident. She spoke of the need to believe in resurrection once her husband had died. She said it was like needing a strong rope. If you need a rope to tie up a box then you would check the strength to meet that need. If you have to have a rope to climb a mountain strong enough to support your body, then you REALLY need to make sure it is strong. 

 When you have loved ones who have passed on, as I have lost two sons, then you REALLY need to know in your heart there is a resurrection coming for them. If you are diagnosed with a terminal illness this verse alos gives you hope beyond what doctors can or cannot do. 

 Resurrection ....can meditate on that for hours. Not just any 4 syllable word, it is HUGE. Whether we die and are resurrected or we are among those who will lose their gravitation when the Lord returns, whadda promise!

I believe I can fly...How about that!?......I love this verse.  I like to take the word "in" away from the passage in order for it to make more sense to me.  I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes  me, though he die, yet shall he live, 11:26 and whoever lives and believes  me shall never die. The only reason I point this out is because in our culture, to "believe in" something we usually mean that we simply acknowledge its existence (ex. I believe in ghosts or the boogie man) So it just makes it a bit more real to me to read this verse and say I not only believe in him but I simply believe Him and what he says is real. I think we all should keep that in mind as we go over this in our personal time and our "outreach" time. Great point Mrs. Odom thank you for highlighting this verse its very encouraging. The word of God is so shallow that a baby can wade around in it yet so deep that it can drown the smartest of bible scholars.

I don't want to wait until I die to start living. I believe we can begin living the resurrected life now.

Resurrected from all about me to all about Him.

Resurrected from mistakes, misfortune, and misery to more grace, more hope, more joy.....not because life changes but because I change.

Resurrected from "a mature faith" to a child-like faith. 

Yes, sister, I believe this.
