Resurrection Sunday

About this episode

Dr. Mark Rutland explores the significance of the resurrection in the context of Jesus' teachings and its implications for believers today.

In this episode of The Leader’s Notebook (Ep. 306), I open John 11 and Luke 24 to explore what Jesus meant when He said, “I am the resurrection and the life.” The resurrection is not only an event we celebrate—it is a living power we receive. Jesus did not come merely to improve us, but to place His own life within us through the Holy Spirit. I walk through the conversation with Martha, the raising of Lazarus, and the empty tomb to show the difference between physical death and true life in Christ. This message brings hope, clarity, and urgency: resurrection is not just something Jesus does — it is who He is. The question is not only what you believe about the resurrection, but what life is at work in you right now.– Dr. Mark Rutland
