Meditation: John – In this passage, Jesus speaks on the authority that the Son of Man has been bestowed with. Specifically, in these few verses the authority to call the dead from their graves for the final judgement. He says that all hear his voice will rise. Some will live again and others will face condemnation. This is a testament to the authority granted to the Son of God.
