    Questions about John 11:25

    Why is John 11:25 the verse on Christ the King Sunday?

    November 22, 2026 is the Solemnity of Christ the King, and John 11:25 says Jesus is the resurrection and the life. His kingship is not only a throne at the end. It is life stronger than the grave, spoken beside Lazarus's tomb.

    Does belief cancel grief?

    No. Jesus weeps in the same chapter. John 11:25 refuses to let death be the last sentence about the person you love. Tears and the creed belong together.

    How do I honor Christ the King with John 11:25?

    Confess him as resurrection and life, and pray for the grieving or the dead by name. A king who is the resurrection is worshiped by hope, not by denial.
