We recently completed a sermons series at Lakewood where we looked at the I AM statements of Jesus in the gospel of John. The goal of this series was for us to see and know Jesus in light of His own words and claims. The I AM statements foist upon us a recognition that Jesus is more than a great moral teacher. He claims to be God in the flesh—come to save the world. When we hear these words, we must deal with Jesus.
When we’re dealing with Jesus, we’re not just dealing with a good moral teacher. We’re dealing with someone who makes ultimate claims about life and death. How we deal with Jesus matters the most because we are considering matters of life and death—matters of eternity.
I invite you to take some time to listen to these sermons. They build upon one another, but you should be able to listen to whichever one you want and have a good understanding without listening to the others. So listen to one or all eight, but no matter what you do, don’t go away thinking that Jesus is anyone other than the Great I AM.
