Adult Sunday School for 30 August 2020

 

Adult Sunday School for 30 August 2020.

Below is a list of Jesus’ seven “I Am” statements in the book of John.  Please review one each day this week and be prepared to discuss these and other areas of interest from John’s Gospel.

 

“I am the bread of life.” (John 6:35, 41, 48, 51) As bread sustains physical life, so Christ offers and sustains spiritual life.

 “I am the light of the world.” (John 8:12) To a world lost in darkness, Christ offers Himself as a guide.

“I am the door of the sheep.” (John 10:7,9) Jesus protects His followers as shepherds protect their flocks from predators.

“I am the good shepherd.” (John 10:11, 14) Jesus is committed to caring and watching over those who are His.

“I am the resurrection and the life.” (John 11:25) Death is not the final word for those in Christ.

“I am the way, the truth, and the life.” (John 14:6) Jesus is the source of all truth and knowledge about God.

“I am the true vine.” (John 15:1, 5) By attached ourselves to Christ, we enable His life to flow in and through us. Then we cannot help but bear fruit that will honor the Father.
