We live in a culture where we want to see someone "live it out" before he or she actually speaks. A person's credibility comes from action rather than just talking about it. Jesus demonstrates this in the Gospel of John by living out the power of God before He declares who He is through the seven I AM statements. In I AM changes who I am, Gregg Matte shows how Jesus' seven I AM statements are linked to seven of His miracles, and how these statements and miracles serve to move us forward in our faith. These are placed throughout John's account to build toward the climactic finish of Christ rising from the dead. The Gospel of John is intended to be much more than a book of reference for sermons. It's written as people-talk, not just preacher-talk. Through the miracles, parables and declarations recorded by John, we begin to see who Jesus is by what He does. His actions declare His identity. Miracle after miracle, what Jesus does connects with who He is. As we watch the miracles unfold, we are struck with the question, "Who are You, Jesus? Mere man cannot do these things." Out of the miracles, we begin to grow hungry to discover His identity. In His wisdom, Jesus has been working miracles with power and authority. Suddenly, He speaks into the question we are all asking: "Who is this miracle worker?" And He has our attention. We've seen Him do miracles, and our hearts are prepared to begin to learn who Jesus is. In I AM changes who i am, you'll discover how Jesus' miracles and identity statements draw us into close relationship with Him.. Signed by Author. Hardcover.
