“CHRIST AND HIS CLAIMS”
Part 1
 
*Intro:*
#.
When I say “*I Am*” what do you thing about?
#.
Do you think of AOL chat?
#. “Instant Messaging”
#.
How about God?
#.
In Matt.
16.13-16, Jesus asks his disciples, “Who do men say that I am?”
#.
They Answered:
#.
John the Baptist, Elias, Jeremiah or on of the prophets.
#.
Then he asked, “But who do you say that I am?”
#.
Peter said, “You are The Christ The son of The Living God.”
#.
Peter was right he is the Son of God.
#.
Lets take a look at the claims of Christ to see who he says that he is.
*Outline:*
*“I AM”*
/Scripture Reading/:*  Exodus 3.13-15* God tells Moses that I AM WHO I AM has sent you.
-By saying that God was using the name “Yahweh” which is translated      Lord”
                        -This is where Jesus gets the basis for his seven “I AM’s” to follow.
=When Christ used the name “I AM” he knew he was claiming to   be God and the Jews around him would know that.
=In fact that was the problem that the Jewish leaders had.
~~Jesus was claiming to be God.
=They remembered Moses and knew that that was the name, which            God gave him and told him to use to authenticate his      words.
So with that let’s take a look at these seven “I AM’s” of Christ recorded for us in the Gospel of John…
I         *John 6.35*   “*I am the Bread of life*.”
A      This means that he is the sustainer of life.
B       Bread a part of life
1        In our Western culture bread is optional.
a         We cut it out when we are on Low Crab.
Diets
b        Some even cut it out completely
i          At restaurants they will often ask if you would like the bread that comes with the meal because they know that a lot of it gets wasted.
2        In their culture, bread was an essential food, they lived off of bread
a         It was often all that they ate for a meal:  bread and water.
b        The Israelites, while they wandered around in the desert, were given “Manna” by the Lord.
i          That is what they ate three meals a day.
ii        It was there life sustainer.
iii      Without it they would have starved.
C       Christ was not talking about that bread but the eternal life that we can each have through him.
D      This is why our daily quite time is so important.
1        Does anyone use the Daily Bread?
2        Where do you think that they got that name?
E       The Bible~/Christ is our Bread of life
F        God’s Word is what we need.
1        Just like the Israelites needed that Manna we Need Christ and his Word.
2        Another important thing to think about bread is that:                          *Bread by itself is Dead!*
a         Worms infested the Manna the next day.
b        Our bread if left out will grow hair!!!
c         Christ is the living bread: 
i          He never gets stale, moldy, or spoils.
ii        He is always fresh food to our Soul.
G      He is the staple of our lives.
II      *John 8.12*  *“I am the light of the world.”*
A      Remember when the Israelites wandered around in the desert.
1        What lead them by Day?  _______   (Cloud)
2        What lead them by Night?
_______   (Pillar of Fire)
a         Some interesting facts about the cloud and the Fire.
i          The cloud would go ahead and behind them.
a)      They were in a desert:  during the day it is hot.
i)        They had shade.
ii        The Pillar of Fire would also lead them.
a)      In the desert at night it can get pretty cold.
i)        Fire provided heat for their comfort.
ii)      But also light for them to see as God leads them through the dark!
b        This symbolized the Shekinah glory, which guided them.
B       Again this would cause a problem for the Jews because here he is claiming to be God again.
1        Used the Term “I AM” but also
a         “Light Of the World”
i          He was comparing himself to the Sun.
Vs. 2 says that it was Dawn.
a)      Maybe he was using an object lesson that morning.
b)      As the Sun was rising he was teaching about himself giving light to the world
ii        The Sun was a symbol of Jehovah.
a)      Psalm 84.11  “For the Lord God is a *Sun* and shield; The Lord gives grace and glory; No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly.”
iii      It is time for LIGHT to shine in this dark world.
a)      Who are the only ones who cannot see the Light?
Blind people
b)      Who needs to see the light the most?
Blind people
c)      Who carries the light?
Christians Do!
d)     This light is shinning in the world whether it is bright or dim.
i)        Which is yours?
e)      Through us His light (Should) shine.
C       Light is also a symbol of God and his holiness
1        Moses’ face shown with the glory of God when he would come down from the Mountain.
So much so that he had to wear a veil.
He was in the presence of God.
a         His face reflected this truth.
2        Angels appear and are clothed in white and shinning brightly.
D       
III   *John 10.7*  *“I am the gate.”(Door)*
A      There are actually three Gates (doors) to distinguish here.
1        /The gate (door) into the sheepfold/.
Vs. 1
a         In Vs. 1 He talks about thieves and robbers entering by another way.
b        The sheepfold here is not talking about heaven.
In this context he is talking to the Nation of Israel and trying to explain this to them.
