INTRO: ME/WE - Controversial claims/Personal claims. MILE HIGH BASEBALL/NICEST PERSON IN THE WORLD/ GPCS- MOST WELCOMING CHURCH

John 14:6 NLT , Jesus makes this incredible statement- I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. / STATEMENTS OF EXCLUSIVITY

PUSHING UP NEXT TO STATEMENTS - WELL I KNOW ANOTHER WAY
CULTURE- TOTAL INCLUSION

When we put an exclusive clause on Jesus, all other religions / belief systems have to bow in submission, but if Jesus claims are then there is essentially zero hope in your life.

FINGERPRINTS / OT. PROPHECIES LINES OF FINGERPRINTS

GOOGOL NUMBER

Luke 4:16-21 NLT - When he came to the village of Nazareth, his boyhood home, he went as usual to the synagogue on the Sabbath and stood up to read the Scriptures. 17 The scroll of Isaiah the prophet was handed to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where this was written: 18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see, that the oppressed will be set free, and that the time of the Lord’s favor has come.” 20 He rolled up the scroll, handed it back to the attendant, and sat down. All eyes in the synagogue looked at him intently. 21 Then he began to speak to them. “The Scripture you’ve just heard has been fulfilled this very day!” - DUMBFOUNDED / Isaiah 61:1

SEGWAY TO JOHN 10 // MUST HAVE BEEN WRITING TO SKEPTICS. HIS PINTEREST WAS FILLED WITH PROOFS OF CHRIST’S CLAIM

JUST B/C YOU MAKE THE CLAIM, DOESN’T MEAN YOU CAN PROVE IT TRUE.

WHAT JESUS DID MADE ALL THE PROOF

John 10: 1-6 NLT - “I tell you the truth, anyone who sneaks over the wall of a sheepfold, rather than going through the gate, must surely be a thief and a robber! 2 But the one who enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep recognize his voice and come to him. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 After he has gathered his own flock, he walks ahead of them, and they follow him because they know his voice. 5 They won’t follow a stranger; they will run from him because they don’t know his voice.”

6 Those who heard Jesus use this illustration didn’t understand what he meant, 7 so he explained it to them: “I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep.

John 10:14-21 NLT - “I am the good shepherd; I know my own sheep, and they know me, 15 just as my Father knows me and I know the Father. So I sacrifice my life for the sheep. 16 I have other sheep, too, that are not in this sheepfold. I must bring them also. They will listen to my voice, and there will be one flock with one shepherd.

17 “The Father loves me because I sacrifice my life so I may take it back again. 18 No one can take my life from me. I sacrifice it voluntarily. For I have the authority to lay it down when I want to and also to take it up again. For this is what my Father has commanded.”

19 When he said these things, the people were again divided in their opinions about him. 20 Some said, “He’s demon possessed and out of his mind. Why listen to a man like that?” 21 Others said, “This doesn’t sound like a man possessed by a demon! Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”

The trilemma/ LIAR // LUNATIC // TRUTHFUL - << KEYS BEGINNING>>

John 14:1-13 NLT - “Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. 2 There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? 3 When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. 4 And you know the way to where I am going.”

5 “No, we don’t know, Lord,” Thomas said. “We have no idea where you are going, so how can we know the way?”

6 Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. 7 If you had really known me, you would know who my Father is. From now on, you do know him and have seen him!”

8 Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father, and we will be satisfied.”

9 Jesus replied, “Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and yet you still don’t know who I am? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father! So why are you asking me to show him to you? 10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words I speak are not my own, but my Father who lives in me does his work through me. 11 Just believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me. Or at least believe because of the work you have seen me do.

12 “I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father. 13 You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, so that the Son can bring glory to the Father. 14 Yes, ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it!

The closer you get to Christ the more intense and clear his integrity and Purity becomes.

For every other religion, the closer you get, the more holes in the story begin to find. The more disingenuous features you are able to identify.

His miracles served as personal evidence of his credibility, with the power over nature, the power over death, and the power over health.

LUKE24:44-48 NLT - Then he said, “When I was with you before, I told you that everything written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and in the Psalms must be fulfilled.” 45 Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures. 46 And he said, “Yes, it was written long ago that the Messiah would suffer and die and rise from the dead on the third day. 47 It was also written that this message would be proclaimed in the authority of his name to all the nations, beginning in Jerusalem: ‘There is forgiveness of sins for all who repent.’ 48 You are witnesses of all these things.

in 1626 a man named Zeb was born the son of a chicken farmer and was a manic depressive but mesmerizing people with his speaking style. He declared that he was the Messiah in 1648. In 1666 however he was arrested by Turkish authorities on charges of trying to overthrow the sultan. He was given a choice to either be tortured to death or become a Muslim. And without batting and I hear announced his faith in Christ for the face of Muhammad.
another story is of JeMIMA Wilkenson, born in 1752 to a quaker family in Rhode Island she would tell people that she had died when she was just 20 years old but God had resurrected her. she ended up with more than 200 fiercely loyal disciples who believed that she was their ticket to God.
Other people recount of stories of how she described that she was on the banks of a lake one day and out that she was going to walk across the water just as Jesus did. And she turned to her followers and asked ``Do you believe that I can?!” They chanted, “ yes! Yes!" then she said “ well in that case there's no need to actually do it“ and she walked home on dry land

John 10:36-38 NLT - the Father set me apart and sent me into the world. 37 Don’t believe me unless I carry out my Father’s work. 38 But if I do his work, believe in the evidence of the miraculous works I have done, even if you don’t believe me. Then you will know and understand that the Father is in me, and I am in the Father.”
