Matthew 9:18-26 ~ The Authority of Jesus over Death

Excerpt:

Death could not contain Christ. And the Bible says that the death of the believer will not contain the believer. Because Jesus was raised from the dead, so shall the believer be raised from the dead. Here, Jesus was not only exhibiting His power over death but also His authority to produce life after death. See that is why the word sleep is important here. Death was experienced but also a raising up from out of death and into life. This young girl now had new life after death, and that was His ministry. Not just the authority and power over death, but the authority and power to give life after death. This is what Jesus did and this is the physical authority He has over death and the grave. But did you know that when a person is saved they experience a spiritual resurrection?
