I Am part 1: Our Very Present Help

Written By Redeemer Coast
 

Psalm 46:1: “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear…”

How wonderful it is to know that the same God who was with Abraham, the same God who was with Moses, the same God who was with David and Daniel, and all of the wonderful patriarchs of old is the exact same God who is with us.

In John chapter eight, Jesus says to the Pharisees, “Before Abraham was, I Am.” He was letting them know that He was the One that had been there since the beginning. He was the one present in Abraham’s life and Moses’s life, and now He was living amongst them, right in front of their eyes.

The wonderful truth is that because Jesus lived on the earth as a man and won the victory over the devil and the kingdom of darkness through the cross, now the very Spirit of God, His presence, lives on the inside of anyone who receives Jesus as Lord of their life.

I Am part 7: I Am the light of the world

John 8:12, “I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.”

This time of year is the celebration of our Lord and Saviour and the wonderful truth that God the Father fulfilled His promise to send His Son, born a virgin. When Jesus came to the earth, the course of mankind forever changed. We were once in darkness, full of sin, separated from our Heavenly Father. Shame, guilt, condemnation, and judgment were all we knew. But God! He had a plan already set in motion for our freedom since before the foundation of the world!

I Am part 6: I am the way, the truth and the life
I Am part 6: I am the way, the truth and the life

John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."

God, the Father, has made it so simple for us to come to Him. His desire for fellowship with us shines through the heart of Jesus. Jesus came to reveal the heart of the Father to us. He demonstrated the Father's heart through His words, His actions, how He healed people, showed mercy, and showed us the truth. In John chapter one, John says, "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth." (verse 14)

Jesus was full of grace and truth. When you encountered Jesus, you encountered grace, and when you encountered Jesus, you encountered truth.

I Am part 4: I Am the Good Shepherd
I Am part 4: I Am the Good Shepherd

John 10:10-11  "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came so that they would have life, and have it abundantly. I am the good Shepherd; the good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep."

Jesus is our good Shepherd. He is faithful to call, lead, provide, and protect us. As His sheep, we hear when He calls, follow where He guides, and enjoy His provision.
