DISCOURSE: 1667CHRIST THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFEJohn 11:25-26. Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.

Though He Were Dead September 14th, 1884 by C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892) "Martha saith unto Him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.

Believest thou this?" John 11:24-26 . Martha is a very accurate type of a class of anxious believers. They do believe truly, but not with such... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - John 11:1-57

The gospel according to John, chapter 11.Now we remember that John is carefully picking out certain incidents in the life of Jesus by which he might prove that Jesus was the Messiah, the Son of the living God, bringing people to a faith in Him, as such, that through that faith they might have the life of Christ imparted to them. And he testifies there were many other things that Jesus did which he did not record, but these he recorded that you might believe. And so John is writing from a slant,... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - John 11:1-57

John 11:2 . It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment. The allusion to this anointing is obscure.

John 20:1. See the note also on Matthew 26:7. John 11:9 . Are there not twelve hours in the day? Then, though the jews sought to stone the Saviour, he assigns a reason why we should go on... read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - John 11:25

25. I am… resurrection… life The due understanding of these two sublime verses requires an analysis of the two principal terms. Resurrection is the reunion of a conscious soul to a body by it vitalized. Thence results actual physical life compositely of soul and body. Yet life, as often used, especially in John’s Gospel, designates something over and above this. Certainly does this higher meaning exist when the life is conditioned, as here, upon faith. It is then a life upon life; THE... read more
