I Am In The Gospel Of John

We are often searching for answers to find out who Jesus was or what His teachings really meant. John includes eight different situations in which Jesus gives what are known as the “I Am” statements. Instead of continuing to simply wonder about who Jesus is, we can take an in depth look into the “I Am” statements that Jesus made while He was here on earth. Conclusions can be drawn by looking at the statements Jesus makes and looking into what they mean. He uses an emphatic “I Am” to bring out important teachings about his person. Most of these statements are known by Christians.

In John 4:1-42 Jesus purposefully goes beyond gender, ethnic, and moral lines to liberate the women he meets at the well, in of Samaria.

All of the Gospels describe the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, but each author illustrates the stories differently. Scholars believe Mark is the first Gospel written and is symbolized by a lion to denote Christ as powerful and fast-paced. The Book of John, understood to be the last gospel composed, is perceived as an eagle because the story differs greatly and is often more developed than the other Gospels. Comparing John 2 to the Gospel of Mark will depict unique themes and characteristics of Jesus.

In the Gospel of John 18-33B-37 Pilot and Jesus are having a conversation. Pilot asks Jesus if he is the King of the Jews. Jesus asks Pilot in return if he asked that question because he thought Jesus was the King of the Jews, or because he was told that. Pilot responds to Jesus and said that he was not a Jew and it was his own people who turned in. Pilot then asks Jesus what he has done to make them turn him in. Jesus answers and tells Pilot that his kingdom does not belong to the people of this world. He continues saying that if it did the people would be defending him instead of turning him in as they had done. Pilot asked Jesus for the second time if he was the King of the Jews. This time

“But who do you say I am?” (Matthew 16:15). Two thousand years ago, Jesus asked his followers. “Who he really was?” Tom Wright, who lives in 21st century, asks again.

Jesus was declared to be the Mighty God and Everlasting Father long before he was ever conceived in the womb of Mary. The Everlasting Father became the child and son born in the manger. Therefore Jesus truly is Immanuel, God with us. Jesus is Almighty God become a man.

Jesus asks another question, “Who do you say that I am?” For the next two thousand years, Christians have been formulating an answer to that question. I Am, in Greek ego eimi, is the word so often used by Jesus. He is the same eternal God, the God who brought Israel out of Egypt. Don’t forget his creation of the world.

In comparison to many of the initially accepted books of the Biblical canon, John’s book of Revelation was written decades later, around 96 CE, and was forced to address the failure of the kingdom’s arrival. Many earlier Biblical books argued that God’s kingdom was imminent and would arrive swiftly, but the passing of time may have led to a gradual decrease in this sense of urgency and, by extension of this, religious faith in Jesus and his teachings. In response to this, John’s contemporaries faced him with a unique challenge to renew their eschatological beliefs and answer the mystery behind the delayed coming of the kingdom of God. Within the book of Revelation, John encourages his readers to strengthen their belief in the urgency behind

In the Gospel of John 4:5-42 Jesus was walking through Samaria and when he became tired he stopped at a well. A woman came to the well and Jesus asked her for a drink. She responded how can a Jew ask a Samaritan for a drink. Jesus then begins telling the woman of living water and tells her to go get her husband and to return but the woman says she does not have a husband. Jesus says to her the she has five and the woman recognized him as a prophet because Jesus knew everything about her.. Then came the disciples and were shocked to see that Jesus was talking to the Samaritan woman. When the woman left the well she left her jar behind and began to tell of her encounter. When people heard her story they

Explanation: The Gospel of John begins like no other. It begins, not at Jesus’ birth, not at the time of the prophets, not even at Adam, but in the very beginning, before there was anything. Anything, that is, except God and the Word who was God. John introduces this Word as the light and the life and the creator of everything. And yet his own creation did not know him. At this point, the man whom Jesus called the greatest prophet of all (Luke 7:28) is introduced: John the Baptist. He came to wake the world up to see their creator that had come to them. Truly, he came to “prepare the way of the Lord” (Isaiah 40:3), a light to testify of the Light that was even already come. John’s role was to open the eyes of the world to see the Christ that had come: the Savior they did not recognize or receive, the Light they,

The Gospel according to John initiates with the beginning of time. Through descriptions of the beginning of time, Jesus is described as the word, the light, and the son. Later in the gospel John the Baptist is sent from God and he is by Levites and priest who he was, John emphasized the fact that he was neither the Messiah nor a prophet, but rather he was sent to announce the coming of The Lord. The next day, Jesus came to John and was baptized. While John baptized Jesus he noticed the Spirit come down on Jesus and remain, therefore concluding that Jesus was the Son of God.

“Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me’” (John 14:6, NIV).

In this study of John chapter 14, verses 1-14. We will be taking a critical look at verse 12, where Jesus states, “you will do greater things than these.” We will be researching what Jesus may have meant when he stated this. What exactly would we be doing that is “greater things than these.” Who was Jesus actually addressing when he spoke this passage? Who is the “you” he is referring to in the passage?

John, in the synoptic Gospel writings, showed that Christ was deity with the referencing of Jesus’s “I AM” statements. These statements are given for the believer. Unless one knows who they are in Christ, they cannot know who He is through the spirit. Knowing this brings about salvation in Him and faith through Him. John referenced seven emphasis of Jesus being deity, in the book of John, which are:

The Bible is a collection of sacred texts in Judaism and Christianity. In the Christian Bible, these collections of texts are divided into two major complimentary sections, the Old Testament and the New Testament. Where the Old Testament is foundational, containing prophecies and providing the history of people, the New Testament builds up on the Old Testament with more revelations from God, fulfilling the many prophecies announced and providing the history of one Person, Jesus Christ. The Old Testament prophesizes the coming of Christ in Isaiah and Genesis, and the New Testament unveils the identity of the Messiah in John 1. John 1, in the form of an argument, uses the Old Testament’s prophecies as evidence that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the Messiah that was sent by God to purge our sins.
