Greek · he an-AS-ta-sis kai zo-AY
Anastasis kai Zoe
ἡ ἀνάστασις καὶ ἡ ζωή
The Resurrection and the Life
Symbol: The empty tomb at dawn — the stone rolled from death's door
“Jesus said to her, 'I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die.'”
John 11:25
Jesus did not say He gives resurrection — He said He IS resurrection, and He proved it with an empty tomb.
What the name means
Lazarus was four days dead when Jesus spoke this — He stated the doctrine, then demonstrated it in a graveyard.
Resurrection is a Person present with you in the now: He wept at the tomb before He emptied it.
The Life He is does not wait for the end of the story — it operates wherever death still whispers.
How to pray this name
- Pray it into dead places: 'Resurrection and Life, stand before this tomb.'
- Pray it over grief — Martha heard it standing beside a brother's grave.
Resurrection and Life, speak into my tombs — what You hold, death cannot keep. In the Mighty Name of Jesus! Amen.
Declaration
Jesus is my Resurrection and my Life — death has lost its hold on me.
