Weekly Reflection

I Am the Resurrection and the Life

03-26-2023We Celebrate Worship Resource, Vol. 48, No. 1

Today we hear John’s dramatic account of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead. Ezekiel foreshadows this event when he tells his people that one day God will raise them from their graves. God’s spirit will give them life. But that spirit is not accepted by all. In the Gospel, Jesus reveals to Martha, “I am the resurrection and the life,” and calls forth Lazarus from the tomb (John 11:25). John tells us that many who witness this event begin to believe. However, we don’t hear his next verse: “But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done” (11:53). Restoring the life of his dear friend directly leads to the loss of his own. Jesus places a greater value on the life he gives that on the life he has. For the life that Jesus gains is the resurrected life in which we all share—the life, as Paul wrote, that God gives to our mortal bodies through the Spirit of God dwelling in us.

How does knowing that the Spirit of God dwells in you change your outlook on life?

Yo Soy La Resurrección Y La Vida

Hoy escuchamos el relato dramático de Juan sobre Jesús resucitando a Lázaro de entre los muertos. Ezequiel presagia este evento cuando le dice a su pueblo que un día Dios los levantará de sus tumbas. El espíritu de Dios les dará vida. Pero ese espíritu no es aceptado por todos. En el Evangelio, Jesús le revela a Marta: “Yo soy la resurrección y la vida”, y llama a Lázaro de la tumba (Juan 11:25). Juan nos dice que muchos de los que presencian este evento comienzan a creer. Sin embargo, no escuchamos su siguiente versículo: “Pero algunos de ellos fueron a los fariseos y les contaron lo que Jesús había hecho” (11:53). Restaurar la vida de su querido amigo conduce directamente a la pérdida de la suya. Jesús valora más la vida que da que la vida que tiene. Porque la vida que Jesús gana es la vida resucitada en la que todos compartimos, como escribió Pablo, que Dios da a nuestros cuerpos mortales a través del Espíritu de Dios que mora en nosotros.

¿De qué manera el saber que el Espíritu de Dios mora en ti cambia tu perspectiva de la vida?
