We will examine the next of the I AM statements in John's book. At a time of deep grief and sorrow for Jesus, when his good friend Lazarus was dead, and Lazarus’s sisters were in deep mourning, Jesus proclaimed, “I am the resurrection and the life.” What a glorious comfort to come during a time of grief. Death is our constant companion in this life, and without the power of Jesus as our resurrection and life, we have nothing to hope for. But with Him as our true hope, we have nothing to fear. 

Series Overview

Throughout the book of John, Jesus makes seven “I AM” statements. Seven times, He compares himself to some object or reality so that we can begin to understand the vastness of His person and character. At our candlelight service this past Christmas, we examined the statement, “I am the light of the world.” Throughout this series, we will study the remaining six statements so that we can gain a better understanding of exactly who our savior is.
