I Am the Way, The Truth, And The Life

April 6             "I Am the Way, The Truth, And The Life" 

John 14:1-14                  

We live in a world that tells us there are many ways, truths, and kinds of life and that they're all the same and equal.  When Jesus calls himself "the way, the truth, and the life," He is saying that there are absolutes and that they are grounded in Him, the only one through whom salvation comes.  His words are about truly knowing and having a relationship with the Savior of the world.

"I Am"

Lent is the season of preparation for Easter, a time to reflect deeply on Jesus- his identity, teachings, and death on the cross—so we can fully understand and celebrate His resurrection. This year, we will focus on the "I am" statements in the Gospel of John. While all four Gospels include instances where Jesus uses the Greek phrase "ego eimi," meaning "I am," John's Gospel records Jesus doing so over 30 times, more than twice the other Gospels combined. Among these, seven instances feature profound metaphors that Jesus used to describe Himself.  Throughout Lent, we will explore these seven metaphors, gaining a deeper and richer understanding of who Jesus was and is.
