SERIES: The Great Adventure: I AM
TITLE: Bread
Scripture: John 6:22-40
“Faith is believing that Christ is what He is said to be, that He will do what He has promised to do, and expecting this of Him.” Charles Spurgeon
“He was either a liar, a lunatic, or who He said He was.” C.S.Lewis
I. INTRODUCING “I AM”
There are 7 I AM statements in John:
1) I AM the Bread of Life
2) I AM the Light of the World
3) I AM the Door/Gate
4) I AM the Good Shepherd
5) I AM the Resurrection and the Life
6) I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life
7) I AM the True Vine
In today’s culture a person’s credibility comes from (action) rather than just (talking).
Turn to Exodus 3-4. I Am is the present tense name of God, (YAHWEH).
YAHWEH translates into (I AM WHO I AM) in the LXX (Septuagint).
II. INTRODUCING “HE IS ENOUGH”
“They were seeking Jesus.” What can we learn from this statement and the surrounding events?
1. (Satisfaction)
2. (Check your motives).
3. Jesus is the (Bread of Life). Jesus had been making His point by His actions. He switches gears and talks about who He is. It is His (identity).
Jesus says, “I AM the Bread of life.” Bethlehem means (house of bread).
