The I am of Jesus – CAC Living Water Daily Devotional
THE LIVING WATER DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE
Sunday April 4, 2021. (Easter Sunday)
TOPIC: THE I AM OF JESUS (1).
Read John 10:1-8
1 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
2 But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
4 And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
5 Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.”
6 Jesus used this illustration, but they did not understand the things which He spoke to them.
7 Then Jesus said to them again, “Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 All who ever came before Me a are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.
MEMORISE:
And God to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, ” Thus you shall say to the children of Isreal, ‘I AM has sent me to you” (Exodus 3:14).
EXPOSITION
The I AM of a person is what he is, can be and will be. This is the covenant name by which God revealed Himself to a man in the book to f Exodus when He decided to punish Pharaoh. We need a better understanding of this, this Easter.
The events that followed Exodus 3:13-16 prove the true Personality and Power behind that divine expression of God (cf. Exod. 4:21ff). The Lord Jesus Christ also made use of a similar expression. He says I AM. It occurs about 58 times in the Gospel of John alone, and majorly proves His divinity. Following are some of the instances:
∆. I who speak to you AM HE (4:26)… to prove that He is the REALITY and FULFILLMENT of prophecy (cf. Matt. 5:17, 18).
∆. I AM the BREAD of LIFE (6:48)… He is the ultimate spiritual food that can only satisfy the hunger and thirst of the human soul (cf. vv. 48-51; Matt. 5:6)
∆. I AM not come of myself (7:28 KJV)… He was not impudent…. Was called and fully backed by God Almighty (cf. vv. 28, 29; Acts 10:38).
∆. I AM the DOOR of the sheep (10:7)…. not of the stubborn, unbelieving goats but all them that will believe and come to the Father through Him (cf. vv. 9,10).
∆. I AM the good SHEPHERD (10:11)… He is not the kind that puts suicide vests on His followers and command them to kill and destroy others!
Do you know Jesus? Will you accept and experience His I AM ? Call Him to come into your heart right now (cf. Rev. 3:20).
PRAYER POINTS:
- Lord Jesus, I praise You for Your ability to be what You are, can be and will be forever.
