Scripture: John 14:6
Jesus claimed that no one comes to the Father except through Him.
Many criticise and challenge this claim. But is Jesus' claim true?
With this question in mind, let's discover why Jesus claims to be the Way, the Truth and the Life.
Scripture: John 11:25
What can we expect when Jesus says he is the resurrection and the life?
- As the resurrection and the life, Jesus promises life not death for the glory of God
- As the resurrection and the life, Jesus inspires a life of faith
- As the resurrection and the life, Jesus declares He is God
- As the resurrection and the life, Jesus prevails over life and death
Scripture: John 10:11
Jesus wasn't just a shepherd, He is the Good Shepherd.
- As the Good Shepherd, Jesus lays down His life for us
- As the Good Shepherd, Jesus takes ownership to take care of our wellbeing and welfare
- As the Good Shepherd, Jesus personally and individually knows us
- As the Good Shepherd, Jesus invites and includes all people into His flock
- As the Good Shepherd, Jesus has authority over death and life
Scripture: John 10:9
In the days of Jesus, religious leaders portrayed themselves as the entry point to God. But they were false leaders and hypocrites.
They cared more for themselves than the people. For this reason, Jesus presents Himself as the Door and:
- Jesus points to the truth that there are evildoers who rob us of God
- Jesus points to the truth that like shepherds, He comes openly, undisguised and without deception to lead and guide us
- Jesus points to the truth that He is the door for Israel
- Jesus points to the truth that He is the door where everyone is kept safe and given abundant life
Scripture: Luke 2:20
Christmas is:
- A celebration of God's perfect timing in history
- A celebration of the meekness of God of becoming human being in flesh
- A celebration of hearing, receiving, and responding to the good news of the coming of Jesus Christ
- A celebration of giving God all the praise, glory and worship
Scripture: Luke 1:26-37
What is life without hope or confidence? It's a life without meaning.
Hope is confidence in Christ.
Mary shows us that we can put our confidence in God who specialises in miracles and impossibilities.
Scripture: John 8:12
As the light of the world:
- Jesus clearly exposes the dark side of the soul
- Jesus clearly expresses Who we are to follow
- Jesus clearly promises life and liberty to all who follow Him
An invitation to let the light of Christ come into your life.
Scripture: John 6:35
Why did Jesus make Himself knows as the Bread of Life?
- To draw our attention to Him as the authentic Source and Nourisher of our physical and spiritual needs
- To draw our attention to Him as God who came from heaven
- To draw our attention to Him as bread broken so we may eat, live and be full
So remember who Jesus is. He is the bread of life.
