TOPIC:  JESUS, THE I AM!

SUBTOPIC:  I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE

 

OBJECTIVE:  In the book of St. John Jesus Christ refers to himself as the I AM.  Each week we will focus on one I AM of Jesus Christ, his mission and the purpose of all the I AM’s as mentioned in the book of St. John.  

​

I AM OF JESUS CHRIST IN REVIEW

We read about Jesus being the Bread of life in book of St John chapter 6:35, 41, 48 and 51. 

We focused on Jesus being the light of the world. To a world lost in darkness Jesus offers himself as the light.  John chapter 8:1 to 12.  In St. John chapter 8 Jesus becomes light by rescuing a woman who was caught  in adultery, after Jesus helps her Jesus declares himself as the light of the world

Jesus declares in John 10: 7-10 that he is the door for his sheep.  Jesus protects His followers as shepherds protect their flocks from predators.  Jesus is the only door to heaven and we can not go into any door to enter to heaven but through Jesus Christ.

​

THIS WEEK:  

In St John chapter 11, Jesus visit Martha during the death of Lazarus, Martha was sad that Jesus wasn't there in time to save him from death.  Jesus uses this opportunity to make it known that He is the resurrection and the life.  Please read St John 11:1-27 to get the essence of Jesus being the resurrection and the life.

-

John 10:11-18 Introduce Jesus as the good shepherd. Jesus declares himself himself to be our Shepherd who leads us into everlasting life.

PARENTS:  Hello parents! Thank you for all you do, please read the story with your child/children and discuss how Jesus is the resurrection and the life.  Please continue with John 10:11-18 and discuss how Jesus is our shepherd he leads us as we follow his voice.  

 

 

MEMORY VERSE: 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:
