June-July Sermon Series: "Picture Perfect - I AM: Portraits of Jesus.”
We start the summer with our sermon s
eries called "Picture Perfect—I AM: Portraits of Jesus.” All four Gospels found in the New Testament record Jesus making statements about Himself using the Greek words, “ego eimi”, meaning “I AM.” However, in the fourth Gospel, the Gospel of John, John records Jesus saying “I AM” thirty times. That’s well more than twice that of the other three Gospels combined, who record Jesus saying “I AM” only twelve times. In seven of those thirty passages Jesus uses an explicit predicate following “I AM” to describe Himself through a graphic and meaningful metaphor. Seven. The perfect number in the Bible. That’s John’s way of saying here is a picture perfect portrait of Jesus.
