CURRENT SERMON SERIES![]() Jump ahead 1500 years. A wandering rabbi from Nazareth amazes the desert crowds with his teaching and healings. His influence threatens the power of the religious leaders, a threat that leads to their devising his destruction. During one accusatory conversation they interrogate him, "Are you greater than our father Abraham?" (John 8:53) Jesus responds, "Very truly I tell you, before Abraham was born I am" (John 8:58). This statement was no mere reference to preexistence but an allusion to the divine name! Jesus was claiming to be God! Luke Timothy Johnson says that John portrays Jesus as the "Holy Place where humans encounter God." In other words, throughout the gospel of John, when Christ speaks, it is the word of God. When Christ acts, it is the movement of God. John carries us deep into the mystery of God by inviting us to see Jesus. The seven "I Am" statements aid us in this journey of discovery. "I Am BREAD" (John 6:35) "I Am LIGHT" (John 8:12) "I Am the DOOR" (John 10:7) "I Am the SHEPHERD" (John 10:11) "I Am the VINE" (15:1) "I Am the RESURRECTION and LIFE" (John 11:15) "I Am the WAY, TRUTH, and LIFE" (John 14:6) Join us as Jesus unveils the mystery of God to us. |
