The Word was the source of life, and this life brought light to people.

Jesus answered, "If you only knew what God gives and who it is that is asking you for a drink, you would ask him, and he would give you life-giving water."

but those who drink the water that I will give them will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give them will become in them a spring which will provide them with life-giving water and give them eternal life."

For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

Your real life is Christ and when he appears, then you too will appear with him and share his glory!

The guards were so afraid that they trembled and became like dead men.

which he used when he raised Christ from death and seated him at his right side in the heavenly world.
