Jesus said "I am"...

 


There are several things that Jesus says about Himself in the Bible.  We can call these promises.  They are really descriptions of our God.  They are reminders for us of who Jesus is.


Many of these statements can be found in the “I AM” statements throughout the Bible and some of the best are in the book of John.

 

First, I am the bread of life (John 6:35).

 

Second, I am the light of the world (John 8:12).

 

Third, I am the gate (John 10:9).

 

Fourth, I am the good shepherd (John 10:11).

 

Fifth, I am the resurrection and the life (John 11:25-26).

 

Sixth, I am the way, the truth and the life (John 14:6).

 

Seventh, I am the vine (John 15:5).

 

Seven powerful statements about the character of God.  We know and have experienced the moving and blessings of God.  


How have you experienced Jesus?  It is true that every one of us have a different testimony, but each on reflects who Jesus is.  Take some time to reflect on what you have learned about Jesus as you have walked with Him.

 

John 8:12  NLT  

Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.


The “I Am” statements from Jesus tell us about Him.  Now lets tell others.  How great is our God!


1 Peter 2:9  NLT  

… you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
