How do we know Jesus is the resurrection and the life?

Answered in 13 sources

We know Jesus is the resurrection and the life because He demonstrated His authority over death by raising Lazarus from the dead, revealing His divine power.

In John 11:25-26, Jesus declares Himself as the resurrection and the life, affirming that anyone who believes in Him will live, even if they die. The raising of Lazarus stands as a testament to this claim. With a simple command, 'Lazarus, come forth' (John 11:43), He called Lazarus back from death, showcasing His absolute power over life and death. This act not only confirms His divine identity as the Son of God but also illustrates His role in the spiritual resurrection of believers, emphasizing that through Christ, we are granted eternal life. The miracle serves not merely as an event but as a pivotal symbol of His victory over sin and death, reinforcing the truth of His nature as both Savior and life-giver.
