"Life In The Light of Love" - Mike Ashcraft | I AM _____, Week 1
In the Gospel of John, Jesus introduces himself using the powerful words "I am." These words are more than just a way for Jesus to identify himself; they invite us to explore and discover more about who God is. When Jesus keeps saying "I am," it's like he's asking us to dig deeper into understanding the heart of God. To reflect God’s heart, we need to know His heart. And where can we see it most clearly? In the life of Jesus. He challenges each of us with a big question: "Who do you say that I am?" This question Jesus asks is like a starting point for a journey. It's not just about figuring out who Jesus is; it's an invitation for us to think about and express what we understand about God and his character in light of Jesus. What does Jesus show us about God? Think of Jesus' life as a painting that shows us what God is like. Jesus is inviting us into a relationship and a relationship leads to a revealing, then a discovery, and finally, a response.
