Over this summer we are exploring the Gospel of John. Beginning with an overview on the distinctives of the book, we trace back to the extraordinary statement of divine identity in Exodus 3, 'I am who I am'.
With this as background, we move into the 'I am' sayings of Jesus (in the order they come) and the biblical contexts in which we find each one. Each memorable saying aligns with our human spiritual needs. In short, the overall message is that Jesus fulfils and satisfies every human spiritual need. Each one reveals how He saw His relationship with the world.
The series examines the ways and images Jesus uses to express who He is and how each of these is organically related to His disciples. A summer spent with these incomparable sayings of Jesus will brings its own immeasurable rewards!
