The Resurrection and Thy Life When Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the Life” He was claiming to be the source of both.

One of the Bible’s most informative images of Jesus is as the “Good Shepherd”. Part of that image involves His Leadership or Lordship of the flock. Jesus expresses that role by saying “My sheep hear My voice”. Only the Lord’s true sheep follow and obey Him because they know and recognize His voice. Jesus said,… Read More »
