Showing the Way: Pt 4 – Jesus is the Way

Read John 14:1-14

Read it again, slowly, in a different translation. This time, the reader should briefly pause between each verse.

  • What stands out to you in this passage?
  • What might God be saying to you?
  • What are you going to do about it?

Jesus’ statement in 14:6 is one of seven “I am” statements in John’s gospel. These function as a basic framework for Jesus’ self-revelation in John. They show us that Jesus is God – specifically, the God of Israel.

Work through each of the “I am” statements slowly. (Don’t worry if you run out of time before you get to the end!) Discuss what each of these statements reveal about Jesus. How do they link to the Old Testament? What do they say about the importance of Jesus?
