Jesus! Week 5: I AM (Pam Larson with Jean T)

“If you don't feel strong desires for the manifestation of the glory of God, it is not because you have drunk deeply and are satisfied. It is because you have nibbled so long at the table of the world. Your soul is stuffed with small things, and there is no room for the great.”― John Piper, A Hunger For God

What a feast was set for us in John’s gospel this week! But have we truly recognized the riches of grace set before us in God’s word? Jesus told the religious leaders, “You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me, yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life” (John 5:39–40). They failed to see the true content and purpose of the Scriptures, which is to testify about Jesus. Oh sisters, let us heed the words of Jesus, come to him, the Bread of Life, the Light of the World, the Door, the Good Shepherd and the True Vine.
