John Mark Pool:
"I AM the Resurrection and the Life!"
Jesus told her, "I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in Me will live, even after dying. Everyone who lives in Me and believes in Me will never ever die..." John 11:25-26
Jesus, the Son of God, came to manifest what He is and has always been – Resurrection and Life! Jesus did not come to earth to teach about a theory; He was and is forever the resurrection life for everyone who receives Him. Jesus Christ did not only raise the dead, like He did Lazarus, but brought to Believers the revelation of "the resurrection" authority of God that has always existed.
But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. Romans 8:11
Resurrection and Life is the Spirit deposit from the Father of all those who receive Jesus' gift of eternal life. When we received Jesus, we began carrying the "precious resurrection life" guarantee for everyone on the earth needing "resurrection" everlasting life. This is far greater than just physically being "raised from the dead."
Jesus Is the Son of God Who Offers Family Lineage Through Resurrection Life!
When Jesus Christ was born on earth, it was for the main mission of resurrection life to all those who would believe in Jesus' completed assignment of the Cross of Calvary.
In the world's view, success is equated through power, money, and control – thus it is impossible for the unregenerate mind to conceive the "way of the Cross."
For the message of the Cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 1 Corinthians 1:18
However, even during the ministry of Jesus upon the earth, He had a testimony both to everyone then and the entire world now.
When we accept Jesus as the Messiah, then we must receive all the Word of God that Jesus' Blood was poured out through an agonizingly painful suffering, crucifixion, and accompanying death upon a Cross. The message is not only that Christ suffered beyond human understanding, but that it was God's plan to have a supreme sacrifice offered for the sins of humanity once and forever. The suffering was past the death sentence; it was beyond normal torture from the beating to the disfigurement.
Yet, this "wounding" taken by Jesus was for our iniquities that will not have to be repeated. Jesus did this once and for all, thus the suffering paid the price for all our sins.
Isaiah prophesied this hundreds of years prior and it was fulfilled with Jesus Christ's crucifixion:
"For He grew up before Him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of parched ground; He has no stately form or majesty that we should look upon Him, nor appearance that we should be attracted to Him... He was oppressed and He was afflicted, yet He did not open His mouth; like a lamb that is led to slaughter, and like a sheep that is silent before its shearers, so He did not open His mouth" (Isaiah 53:2,7).
Jesus took our death warrants, nailed them to the Cross, and set all the captives free! Then Jesus went down, grabbed the keys of death and the grave, and on the third day burst forth out of the grave in monumental fulfillment of victorious resurrection life. Jesus did all that to break the curse of sin and to bring the lost relationships of humanity back to the heart of our Father.
Understanding the power of the Cross of Calvary means you cannot place our Savior of the World in a class of any other form of religion. He did not do this to be continually scrutinized, re-crucified, and put back upon the Cross by those who refuse to accept His accomplished mission for their personal life. We cannot add to nor take away from that living Word. Receive the message of the real resurrection that is indeed life for those who believe Christ's declaration – "It is finished!"
...having been buried with Him in baptism, in which you were also raised up with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions, having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the Cross. When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through Him. Colossians 2:12-15
In Christ "It Is Finished!"
Jesus was not crucified and resurrected to "patch our past up" so we could go limping along hoping for a better future! Indeed, when Jesus arose from the dead and manifested in earth what He already was, resurrection and life, then our past was totally cleansed and forgiven. This is a tremendous blessing and benefit for those who receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
...Because He hath poured out His soul unto death: and He was numbered with the transgressors, and He bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors. Isaiah 53:12
Remember, the Christ in you makes everything "brand new".
The Message of Resurrection Authority Is a Life-Changing Power We Now Have Through Jesus Christ to Impart To Everyone!
Jesus Christ was in the glory of the Father as "The Resurrection" authority when all creation was formed, and then He came to earth to make new all that sin had taken from Abba Father's fellowship.
Since the completion of the Cross of Calvary and the "Resurrection Authority with Christ" ultimately triumphing over the enemy and seated at the right hand of God, we now have abundant life forever. We are not given Resurrection Authority to simply miss Hell and go to Heaven. We have this power dwelling in us to appropriate raising the dead, meaningless existence of the lost into the everlasting vibrant eternal life now on earth as it is in Heaven.
In Jesus Christ, Believers possess this "Resurrection Authority" within the spirit-person to do even greater works now than Jesus did when He walked upon earth. The enemy does not want Christians operating in this understanding of the "Resurrection Authority." As more Christians use this "Resurrection Power," it will stop the enemy from influencing Believers to settle for "crumbs" of the Lord's goodness rather than residing at our Father's banquet table of blessings!
The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. John 10:10
Jesus Christ is the only Messiah of the World; Jesus is the resurrection and the life!
Resurrection Power Gives Us Our NEW DAY – Forever!
Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard. Isaiah 58:8
Though you have prayed and trusted the Lord, and when troubles linger just like winter's grip does not seem ready to let go, remember our faithful Father has set in earth a soon-coming spring. Soon our seeds lying dormant will burst forth with vibrant life to announce a fresh, new, springtime outpouring season has arisen!
We Are Now In a Dawn Season, and Joy Comes In the Morning
Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning. Psalm 30:5
Imagine the bewilderment and fear of Jesus' disciples the night of His arrest and momentous time of crucifixion. Perhaps they thought all their hopes were dashed. Maybe they felt everything they hung their faith onto had been wasted. Just at the darkest moments before night loses its shadows to the dawn's light, so much more is our loving Father in Heaven bringing to pass your heart's desire in the dawning light of this new day.
Do not lose hope now, for with each new day, soon is the breaking forth of a vibrant, fresh, spring season. Do not lose sight of the breaking of a new Season of Hope and God's favor that awaits those who are yearning for more of Good God. Call forth that Resurrection Life in you and march into your "New Day" with Jesus Christ's authority!
The Lord's lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-23
This season is bursting forth with new heavenly hunger blossoms of intimacy with our Father as never known before. The dawning day into your destiny is the one opening the new season of the springtime of our lives in this beautiful journey with our Creator Father God. Old things have passed away and behold everything has become brand new!
We thank You, Lord God, that no matter what we have gone through in the weary winter time of our journey, we will always praise You, Lord, knowing that our new dawning joy in You, Jesus, is indeed our strength!
Declare during this resurrection celebration season that you now acknowledge your authority of "Resurrection Life" within you, and decree into our nation, "The Resurrection and The Life" found only through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ – "The Resurrection and The Life!
