Do You Believe This? Living in Resurrection and Life Now

This Sunday, We continued our “Jesus Asks” series by looking at one of Jesus’ most powerful questions from John 11: “Do you believe this?”

We learned that when Jesus says, “I am the resurrection and the life,” He isn’t just talking about a distant, someday hope, but a present reality we can live in right now. We explored the difference between understanding and believing—how Jesus doesn’t ask, “Do you understand this?” but “Do you believe this?” and how real belief shapes the way we live, choose, grieve, and hope.

We connected all of this to confirmation and baptism, recognizing that following Jesus is often like getting in the car without knowing every detail of the journey. Together, we heard Jesus’ question as a personal invitation in every season of life: “I am the resurrection and the life. Do you believe this?”
