Gospel
John 11:19-27
I am the resurrection and the life
Many Jews had come to Martha and Mary to sympathise with them over their brother. When Martha heard that Jesus had come she went to meet him. Mary remained sitting in the house. Martha said to Jesus, ‘If you had been here, my brother would not have died, but I know that, even now, whatever you ask of God, he will grant you.’ ‘Your brother’ said Jesus to her ‘will rise again.’ Martha said, ‘I know he will rise again at the resurrection on the last day.’ Jesus said:
‘I am the resurrection and the life.
If anyone believes in me, even though he dies he will live,
and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.
Do you believe this?’
‘Yes, Lord,’ she said ‘I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, the one who was to come into this world.’
Reflection
I am the resurrection . He who believes even if he dies will live. Today Christ message is very clear. There is the physical death and the life which is the afterlife. Living with Christ for the afterlife depend on how we live in Christ on earth. The question is are we living the way of Christ on earth.
Let us praise
Lord Jesus your kingdom is a kingdom that will last for us. Help us to believe in you for only that way we can live in you forever and ever.
Amen
