John 11:25 includes one of the most life changing “I Am” statements made by Jesus.
Martha’s response in verse 27 is a powerful confession of faith that must be replicated. She acknowledges Jesus as the Messiah (the Christ) and the Son of God. Her statement reflects a deep trust in Jesus’s identity, even in the midst of her grief. It’s a significant moment for her and for us because it shows that faith is not about having all the answers or being free from sorrow. It is about recognizing who Jesus is and trusting Him in the middle of life’s pain and uncertainties. Martha’s confession also reminds us that faith is not just an intellectual assent—it is a personal relationship with Jesus. It is trusting Him as the Christ, the Son of God. May we, like Martha, bring our honest questions to Jesus and confess with faith, “Yes, Lord. I believe you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who comes into the world.” In Jesus and Jesus alone we find life—both now and forever.
