Who is Jesus? Was he a good teacher? Was he a prophet? Is he the Son of God? Is he the Savior of the world? The key question we need to answer is asked by Jesus. "Who do you say that I am?"
The phrase “I am” reflects Exodus 3:14, where God introduces himself to Moses with the expression “I am who I am.” This statement became a way to connect with God personally and was used throughout Israel’s history to convey that God always was, always is and always will be.
Jesus’ bold declaration “I am the bread of life” connects the miracle of the loaves and the fish, to the significance of his life purpose. Jesus is the “bread of life” as he nourishes people spiritually and satisfies the deep spiritual longings of their soul. In that sense, those who trust in him shall not hunger; their spiritual longing to know God will be satisfied.
To follow Jesus means to believe in and trust him, which leads to, as Jesus himself said, light and life. Those who follow Jesus are like travelers who follow the light in a dark night. You shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.
As “the door” Jesus made it explicitly clear, he is the only means of coming home to God. He is the only way one can become part of the people of God. There is no other way. When you go through “the door,” you are home, able to go “in and out” (10:9), where you find an abundant life, complete with fullness and freedom.
Jesus is not only the door that welcomes us home to eternal life, but the one who leads (doesn’t push) us along the way. He gave his life as the greatest demonstration of his love. As those he loves, we are able to hear his voice and follow his leadership, knowing he is good.
Jesus does not merely say that he will bring about the resurrection or that he will be the cause of the resurrection (both of which are true), but something much stronger: I am the resurrection and the life. Jesus says that he has the power lodged in his own hands, and that even the dead will respond to his voice. Jesus only has to say “L
Jesus does not merely say that he will bring about the resurrection or that he will be the cause of the resurrection (both of which are true), but something much stronger: I am the resurrection and the life. Jesus says that he has the power lodged in his own hands, and that even the dead will respond to his voice. Jesus only has to say “Lazarus, come out!” and “the dead man came out” (11:43-44). This was not a future event, it was a present reality.
Jesus does not simply teach the way or point the way; he is the way. Who better to show us the way and welcome us home than The Way himself? He is not one version of the truth; Jesus is the truth. At a time when it can become easy to doubt what is said by most people, Jesus is not only true in every word he says, he is the personificati
Jesus does not simply teach the way or point the way; he is the way. Who better to show us the way and welcome us home than The Way himself? He is not one version of the truth; Jesus is the truth. At a time when it can become easy to doubt what is said by most people, Jesus is not only true in every word he says, he is the personification of truth itself. He is true to all who trust in him, as true as truth itself. He is not a version of living; Jesus is life itself.
He is the center of our faith—the source of our life. The symbolism of the vine and branches is similar to that of the head and the body; we have a living relationship with Jesus and belong to him. If Jesus is the true vine, the implication is that there are false vines that we can, or may be, connected to and continue in. As the true v
He is the center of our faith—the source of our life. The symbolism of the vine and branches is similar to that of the head and the body; we have a living relationship with Jesus and belong to him. If Jesus is the true vine, the implication is that there are false vines that we can, or may be, connected to and continue in. As the true vine, Jesus encourages us to “live, remain and make your home in me.” This invites us to having an ongoing, active connection to Jesus.
Revelation 22:12-13 “Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
No matter where you are in life or what you have done Jesus is wanting a relationship with you. Tell Him you need Him.
There is power in the name of Jesus
There is power in the name of Jesus
This is a beautiful expression from the COVID pandemic
