The "I Am" statements are a series of declarations made by Jesus in the Gospel of John which underscore His divine identity and mission. Each of these statements serves not only as a reflection of His nature but also as a way of revealing how He fulfills the spiritual needs of humanity. Jesus wasn’t just exercising positive self-talk when He made these bold statements. He was letting the first-century Jews, familiar with God’s definition of Himself, know that He truly was God incarnate, the Messiah they were waiting for.

It’s important to consider that He knew who He was, and He wanted us to clearly know, too. He can’t be minimized to merely our “ticket to heaven” but must be seen as our daily sustenance, our direction, our protector, our sacrificial Savior, our victory over death, our access to the Father and eternal life.

Life is full of questions. Some are trivial. “Who won the 2001 Superbowl?” Others are temporary. “Where did I put my keys?” Still others are meaningless. “Why does McDonald’s sell salads?” Then are those that can be life changing.

“What’s the purpose of life?” Regardless of what the question are, they all rely on credible, reliable answers.

It is normal (and healthy!) to have spiritual questions. The best place to find credible, reliable answers is the Bible. In this series, truths about salvation and baptism will be explored through the lens of a young man asking his own questions.

The focus of our attention and the object of our affection. It beckons us. It calls us by name. It looks so good. Yet we sit on the edge looking in. Wondering. Waiting. Will we ever experience it? What does it take to step in? Who will take us there?

Joshua asked the same questions as he sat on the outside looking in. Rather than stopping short of the other side, stuck in wandering and fear, he took a step. A step of faith that changed his life. In this series, we discover how Joshua moved forward and experienced all that God for him on the other side.
