In this message we explore Jesus’ famous self-declaration, a three-part title. With this title Jesus identifies Himself as the sole path to God the Father, providing the real truth about God, and offering eternal life. He alone is the means for reconciliation with God, peace, and a complete spiritual life. (John 14:1-6)

Jesus is our Great High Priest who has passed through the heavens—but not before He walked upon and suffered through this earth, this life. Therefore, our Great High Priest can sympathize with our weaknesses. He’s walked the path we walk and can show us the better way. Jesus is the priest we need, and, a friend indeed. (Hebrews 4:14-16)

Jesus declares to us that He is that Good Shepherd and that we must look to Him.

(John 10:1-16)

Through this message we discover the beauty and power of Jesus being ‘The Lamb Of God’ as we connect Jesus to the ancient Hebrew tradition of animal sacrifice and the Passover Lamb, symbolizing that His death is the perfect and final payment for sin, that liberates people from spiritual slavery to sin. (John 1:29-36)

Jesus was a man, but not an ordinary man. Referring to Jesus as “the Word” illustrates something more significant. The Greek term for “the Word” is “Logos.” The idea attached to the word “logos” is reason, logic, or bringing order out of chaos. The Logos brings harmony and order to the universe. This gives us a bigger vision for who Jesus is, for He also brings harmony and order to our life. (John 1:1-14)

As believers we have been drafted onto the team of the true King. God took us from our old life and gave us a new one in Christ Jesus. This new team of Christ comes with a different character and different demands. In today’s passage from Colossians chapter 3 Paul reminds his readers that, since they’ve been raised with Christ, they need to put on a new uniform and identify themselves with Him… letting go of old ways and pursuing new ways. (Colossians 3:1-14)

False teachers in Colossians were gaining a foothold by introducing and importing rules and traditions from both Judaism and paganism and corrupting the purity of the Christian faith. Paul calls these man-made weeds and philosophies “shadows” and contrasts them with the truth of the Gospel which he calls “substance.” Paul wants his readers to step out of the shadows and into the substance of true faith. (Colossians 2:16-23)
