Wednesday, March 5

You are a mist that appears for a little while and then disappears.—Jas. 4:14.

 

The Bible describes eight resurrections of people raised to life on earth. Why not make a careful examination of each account? As you do, look for lessons you can learn. Think about how each example demonstrates God’s desire and power to restore the dead to life. Above all, reflect on the most important resurrection—that of Jesus. Remember that his resurrection was confirmed by hundreds of eyewitnesses and gives us a solid basis for our faith. (1 Cor. 15:3-6, 20-22) How thankful we are for Jehovah’s promise of the resurrection! We can be sure that this promise will come true, for Jehovah has the desire and the power to fulfill it. Let us be determined to keep strengthening our faith in this precious hope. By doing so, we will draw ever closer to the God who, in effect, promises each of us, ‘Your loved ones will rise!’—John 11:23. w23.04 8 ¶2; 12 ¶17; 13 ¶20

The resurrection is a sure promise from Jehovah. Examining Bible accounts of resurrections strengthens our faith in Jehovah’s power and His desire to restore life. (John 11:23) Jesus’ resurrection, confirmed by many eyewitnesses, provides solid proof of this future hope. (1 Cor. 15:3-6, 20-22)
