This is our seventh and final week of our series called “I Am” where we have been exploring the 7 “I Am” statements of Jesus throughout the gospel of John. John’s gospel is focused on introducing the person and purpose of Jesus which he does through these “I Am” statements. Each statement not only reveals the true identity of Jesus, but also serves as an invitation to respond to the type of relationship that Jesus the “I Am” offers each of us. In John 15 we will learn how Jesus is the true vine. Life connected to Jesus (the vine) is not only essential to thrive but essential if we are going to bear fruit; the ultimate purpose for God work in us.
