In this fourth installment of The Great I Am series, we cover one of the most powerful and pointed of all of Jesus claims: "I am the resurrection." What did he mean when he this? What relevance could it possibly have on our daily lives today?

6. “Lord,” Martha said to Jesus,“if you had been
here, my brother would not have died. But I
know that even now God will give you
whatever you ask.”
Jesus said to her,“Your brother will rise again.”
Martha answered,“I know he will rise again in
the resurrection at the last day.”
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.”
John 11:21-26
8. Your father Abraham rejoiced at the
thought of seeing my day; he saw it and
was glad.”
“You are not yet fifty years old,” they said
to him,“and you have seen Abraham!”
“Very truly I tell you,” Jesus answered,
“before Abraham was born, I am!” At this,
they picked up stones to stone him, but
Jesus hid himself, slipping away from the
temple grounds.
John 8:56-59
9. “I am the Alpha and the Omega,”
says the Lord God,“who is, and
who was, and who is to come, the
Almighty.
John 11:21-26
10. We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers
and sisters, about the troubles we experienced in
the province of Asia.We were under great
pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that
we despaired of life itself. Indeed, we felt we had
received the sentence of death. But this happened
that we might not rely on ourselves but on God,
who raises the dead. He has delivered us from
such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us again. On
him we have set our hope that he will continue to
deliver us, as you help us by your prayers.
2 Cor 1:8-11
11. He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he
believed—the God who gives life to the dead and
calls into being things that were not.
Against all hope,Abraham in hope believed and so
became the father of many nations… Without
weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his
body was as good as dead—since he was about a
hundred years old—and that Sarah’s womb was also
dead.Yet he did not waver through unbelief
regarding the promise of God, but was
strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God,
being fully persuaded that God had power to do
what he had promised.
Rom 4:17-25
