S - John 11:25 Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying.
O - Jesus is telling Martha and the crowd mourning Lazarus' death that Jesus is the true resurrection and life. Even when Lazarus had died He is explaining that He is the only life after death.
A - In all of life's hectic nature it is sometimes difficult to remember that He is really the true life-giving one and that all of the busyness that we have in our lives can sometimes be distractions to what is really important, Him. I need to remember that Jesus in the resurrection and life and even if I am a very good person, or raise excellent kids, that is still not what is going to matter at the end of time. Only because of Jesus am I saved!
P - God, Thank you for sending your Son Jesus! I am blessed to know of His sacrifice for me and I don't take this for granted. Help me to live my life in a way that is both pleasing and in obedience to your calling. I ask that you put a hedge of protection around me and my family today and bless us but more important, help me children and my wife see you for the true resurrection and life that you are so that they too will be in eternity with you some day.
