All your rolling waves were sweeping over me.I said,‘ I have been driven away from you. But I will look again toward your holy temple in Jerusalem.’I had almost drowned in the waves. The deep waters were all around me. Seaweed was wrapped around my head.I sank down to the bottom of the mountains. I thought I had died and gone down into the grave forever.

Those who hear it will live.The Father has life in himself. He has allowed the Son also to have life in himself.And the Father has given him the authority to judge. This is because he is the Son of Man.“ Do not be amazed at this. A time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice.They will all come out of their graves.
