how to rise from the dead
“God formed man to be imperishable; the image of His own nature He made him.” Wisdom 2:23
The Lord wants us to rise from the dead. He will do this by His almighty power, but we must let it be done (see Lk 1:38). We let the Lord raise us from the dead by believing in Him. Jesus told Jairus at the news of his daughter’s death: “Fear is useless. What is needed is trust” (Mk 5:36). At the cemetery following Lazarus’ death, Jesus likewise said: “I am the Resurrection and the Life: whoever believes in Me, though he should die, will come to life” (Jn 11:25-26).

The only Answer to the drudgery of human existence is Jesus. Jesus is the only Hope for humanity, but the only Hope we need. Jesus walks into the typical town filled with suffering, sick, and even demon-possessed people. He both announces the Good News and creates it. He begins by healing a woman with a fever, and before long He’s healed many sick people and driven out countless demons (Mk 1:31-34). It is Good News when Jesus comes to town.
