Mark 8:29
King James Version
29 And he saith unto them,
But whom say ye that I am?
And Peter answereth and saith unto him,
Thou art the Christ.
Who is JESUS?
Who does He say He is?
What does the Bible say?
What have the apostles written?
This post was inspired by an R.C. Sproul sermon we listened to today.
From that, we dug deeper into Scripture, and found much.
This is what JESUS says He is.
The "I AM" statements:
Mark 14:61-62
King James Version
61 But he held his peace, and answered nothing.
Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him,
Art thou the Christ,
the Son of the Blessed?
62 And Jesus said, I am:
and ye shall see the Son of man
sitting on the right hand of power,
and coming in the clouds of heaven.
John 6:35
King James Version
35 And Jesus said unto them,
I am the bread of life:
he that cometh to me shall never hunger;
and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
John 6:48-50
King James Version
48 I am that bread of life.
49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness,
and are dead.
50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven,
that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
John 6:51
King James Version
51 I am the living bread
which came down from heaven:
if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever:
and the bread that I will give is my flesh,
which I will give for the life of the world.
John 8:12
King James Version
12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying,
I am the light of the world:
he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness,
but shall have the light of life.
John 8:58
King James Version
58 Jesus said unto them,
Verily, verily, I say unto you,
Before Abraham was, I am*.
John 10:7
King James Version
7 Then said Jesus unto them again,
Verily, verily, I say unto you,
I am the door of the sheep.
John 10:9
King James Version
9 I am the door:
by me if any man enter in,
he shall be saved,
and shall go in and out,
and find pasture.
John 10:11
King James Version
11 I am the good shepherd:
the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
John 10:14
King James Version
14 I am the good shepherd,
and know my sheep,
and am known of mine.
John 11:25-26
King James Version
25 Jesus said unto her,
I am the resurrection,
and the life:
he that believeth in me,
though he were dead, yet shall he live:
26 And whosoever liveth
and believeth in me shall never die.
Believest thou this?
John 14:6-7
King James Version
6 Jesus saith unto him,
I am the way, the truth, and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also:
and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
John 15:1-2
King James Version
15 I am the true vine,
and my Father is the husbandman.
2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away:
and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it,
that it may bring forth more fruit.
John 15:5
King James Version
5 I am the vine,
ye are the branches:
He that abideth in me, and I in him,
the same bringeth forth much fruit:
for without me ye can do nothing.
Lastly, not a statement of Who He Is, but where He wants us to be:
John 17:24
King James Version
24 Father,
I will that they also,
whom thou hast given me,
be with me where I am;
that they may behold my glory,
which thou hast given me:
for thou lovedst me
before the foundation of the world.
And where is JESUS now?
Where does He want us to be?
Apostle Peter declares:
1 Peter 3:22
King James Version
22 Who is gone into heaven,
and is on the right hand of God;
angels and authorities and powers
being made subject unto him.
Such is the LORD's love for us.
Dying for us.
Taking on our sins.
Offering us salvation.
Giving us eternal life.
Teaching us about GOD.
Wanting us to be with Him.
The very things CHRIST's enemy doesn't want you to know.
2 Corinthians 4:4
King James Version
4 In whom the god of this world
hath blinded the minds of them which believe not,
lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ,
who is the image of God,
should shine unto them.
That's why it's time to believe.
Wake up to GOD's TRUTH now!
JESUS is the SON.
Psalm 2:12
King James Version
12 Kiss the Son,
lest he be angry,
and ye perish from the way,
when his wrath is kindled but a little.
Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
*NOTE:
JESUS echoed GOD's statement:
Exodus 3:14
King James Version
14 And God said unto Moses,
I Am That I Am:
and he said,
Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel,
I Am hath sent me unto you.
