"The Lord Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life” (J..." — Witness Lee quote meaning

The Lord Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life” (John 11:25). Resurrection is superior to life. By itself, life can only have existence, but resurrection can withstand any kind of attack, even the attack of death. The Lord is not only life, but He is also resurrection. Death cannot hold Him because He can conquer death. Death cannot retain Him, because He is not only life—He is also resurrection. Life is the power to exist, but resurrection is the power to conquer everything that is against life...We must learn how to apply this resurrection life day by day. We must not only live by the Lord as life, but we must also conquer by the Lord as resurrection...Regardless of the pressure or trouble we are bearing, we can stand it because we have resurrection life.
