Good News for You.

I bring you glad tidings: Jesus has risen! The news of Jesus’s resurrection brings hope to us all. The eleventh chapter of the Gospel of John records Jesus’ visit to Martha and Mary to  comfort them as they grieved the death of their brother. The two sisters held beliefs: that Jesus would have healed Lazarus and that He would raise Lazarus back to life at the end of the day. Yet, despite this belief, they remained unable to escape the overwhelming sorrow of their present reality—the death of Lazarus, their  beloved brother. 

To Martha and Mary, in their deep grief, Jesus offered words of hope: “I am the resurrection and the life” (John 11:25a). Jesus proclaimed that He Himself is the source of their eternal life. In other words, He meant that the very life we ​​now possess exists solely because Jesus dwells within us. Since Jesus conquered death and rose again, we remain God’s children    forevermore.

I want to explain how Jesus’s resurrection    offers us comfort and hope. First, Jesus atoned for our sins. Following the creation, humanity disobeyed God’s Word by misusing the freedom He had granted them, yielding instead to their own selfish desires. In pursuing our own greed, we lost God—the very source of our life. As sinners, we are powerless to resolve the problem of sin on our own. However, the     sinless Jesus came into the world and, by    dying on the cross in our stead, forgave our sins. In essence, Jesus is the Shepherd who came to seek out and reclaim us—His lost sheep. Because of Jesus, we are eternally  children of God.

Secondly, this is because Jesus knows our  suffering. The statement recorded in verse 35—that “Jesus began to weep”—demonstrates His empathy for Mary’s anguish over the loss of Lazarus. Since Jesus knew that Lazarus had not simply vanished but was in Heaven, He could have instructed Mary that her sorrow was misplaced because she lacked an understanding of eternal life; yet He did not. Instead, Jesus empathized with the suffering of humanity—beings bound by death. For this reason, Jesus is not merely our Savior, but  also our Comforter.

Thirdly, Jesus came to save not only His      disciples but also those who remain bound by death. When Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, many people came to believe in Him. When we confess Jesus as our Savior, in that very moment, our sins are washed away, and we become children of God. 

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?” (John 11:26). These words represent the gift of eternal life that God has bestowed upon us all. Rejoice! The Lord’s resurrection is my resurrection.

In Jesus,

Taegyu Shin
