"Voice of LIFE!"
What does Christ mean when HE speaks of those who are dead, yet upon hearing HIS Voice shall live?
I read with much excitement in the Gospel of John chapter 12, of the day when Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, also of the time recorded by the Apostle Luke in chapter seven, when HE raised the widow's son.
Such things are impossible to explain with only my natural understanding, because Christ is depicting a TRUTH, that can only be understood by having spiritual understanding of HIS POWER.
The WORD of God bears PROOF, undeniable evidence that these 2 men were dead, yet when Christ Jesus spoke, both coming back to LIFE, with Lazarus being the brother of Mary and Martha, also a close and dear friend of Jesus and a Believer, and the other an unknown young man who quite possibly had never heard of HIM nor believed Christ to be the Son of God.
I also read the inspired WORDs of the Apostle Paul, who writes of a specific moment in time when those who are dead in Christ will be raised, resurrected as immortal, changed or transformed and will receive LIFE in the form of an imperishable body, to live eternally with HIM.
Christ Jesus, proclaiming God's POWER over death, speaks LIFE to all who will Believe in HIM, and only through revelation by Holy Spirit is anyone capable of understanding that both Life and death are under HIS Authority.
This is the message of HIS Kingdom, that must be spoken with both Conviction and Faith by those who Believe in HIM and have recieved HIS Spirit of Life, being Victoriously raised from the death which once separated us from HIS Glorious Presence for Eternity.
