A Command That Defies Death
Jesus called Lazarus by name. Death released its grip. The grave surrendered its captive. And life returned at His word. His authority extends beyond the final breath.
Living With Resurrection Hope
Believers face death with hope because Jesus is the resurrection and the life. He holds the keys of death. And He brings life where death once ruled.
