Taking Jesus At His Word 3 of 3

Taking Jesus At His Word

Objective: To encourage disciples to be fully present in their relationship with God.

John 14:6 New Living Translation… Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me”.

Introduction: There are three Greek words to for life… bios (physical), psuche (soul), and zoe (eternal).

Transition: Zoe is the divine life of God, imputed to humanity at salvation.

Exposition: Embrace the creation, resurrection, and eternal life of Jesus Christ that is imputed and accessible to us.

–Life-giving: Creation…

Reference John 1:3-4 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

‌-Life-saving: Resurrection… 

Reference John 11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live…

–Life-anchoring: Eternal… 

Reference I John 5:11-12 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

Conclusion: Subtraction is not the business of our savior, but addition is!
