43. John Pt.1

Jesus, the I Am 

In this book, John highlighted the various titles Jesus gave Himself. Jesus used the first of several “I Am” titles in chapter six.  He used these terms to help relate who He was to His followers. In chapter eight, He nearly got Himself stoned for using the simple title “I Am.”                                                                                                                                                                                  For your convenience – Bible online

A note from your Bible study mentor –

As you read about what Jesus said about Himself in the second lesson of  John, consider your ideas about Him and what you have been taught. Are they the same? Is your concept of Jesus the same as you read in the Bible? 

How does the Lord’s prayer in Matthew compare to His prayer in the book of John?
