What does the Bible say about Jesus' authority over death?
Answered in 1 source
Jesus has complete authority over death, demonstrated through His resurrection and His promise of eternal life.
The scripture portrays Jesus as the sovereign Lord over life and death. His declaration in John 11:25, 'I am the resurrection and the life,' highlights this authority, asserting that He holds power over both spiritual and physical death. Throughout the Gospels, His miracles of raising the dead are evidence of His divine authority. Furthermore, His own resurrection affirms that He has overcome death itself, as seen in Romans 6:9 where it states, 'Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.' This authority reassures believers of their hope and future resurrection.
