Jesus said to Martha, "I am the Resurrection and the Life."
John 11:25

The source of all life and being is the Father. All life and light and love come from Him, for He is love and light and life. And I am the image of His Being, the bearer of His Presence, and the power of His loving purpose. And so I bring all life and light and love to the world He has created and is creating, bestowing and sharing all that He is and gives.

And the life that I am and bring to the Father's beloved children is the triumphant, victorious life which I have won for all who will accept it. For I won it through My free offering of Myself, and I have become the gate through which all may take it to themselves for time and eternity.

This is the open secret of the world's salvation and joy, the key which unlocks all power and fulfilment. But it is rooted and grounded in the contingency of perpetual self-giving. The way to the fullness of life is through the cross from where I continually reign in the world of men. Yet am I also with the Father in glory, sharing His life with all the faithful of all times and places and conditions.
