Jesus said unto her,
I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believes in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
All Commentaries on John 11:25 Go To John 11
Cyprian of Carthage
AD 258
And trust that Christ suffered for us and rose again, abiding in Christ, and through Him and in Him rising again, why either are we ourselves unwilling to depart hence from this life, or do we bewail and grieve for our friends when they depart as if they were lost, when Christ Himself, our Lord and God, encourages us and says, "I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he die, yet shall live; and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall not die eternally? "
