Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live." (John 11:25) Though Jesus can resurrect the dead just as He has raised Lazarus from the grave, the fact that He has risen from the dead being the Resurrection Himself gives the ultimate assurance of eternal life to those who believe in Him. Happy Resurrection Day!
"But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed." (Isaiah 53:5) Jesus was pierced because we rebelled against God's law. He was crushed because of our sins. He was punished so that we would be reconciled to God. He was wounded so that we would be healed.
