Yahweh

John 8:56-58

July 23, 2017 • Sam Choi

Whenever I call God Yahweh, I think of many different attributes. But most of all, I think, this is a name that is only for his people. It’s a special name that I get to address him as that represents his faithfulness to me.

When Jesus says he is Yahweh, he is everything we have seen in the Old Testament.

The True Vine

July 16, 2017 • Jonathan Parnell

Jesus is the true vine. Which means, he is the truer and better Israel — so in all the places where Israel wavered, Jesus will hold fast; in all the places where Israel sinned, Jesus will overcome; in all the places where Israel forsook God over and over again, Jesus will trust God all the way to the very end.

The Way

July 9, 2017 • David Mathis

Jesus is not one lamp among many. He is the singular source of the light of the glory that illumines the world to come. He is the way, the truth, and the life. To believe in the true God is to believe also in Jesus (verse 1). He is in the Father and the Father is in him (verse 11). Jesus is the only way because he and God the Father are one.

The Resurrection and the Life

July 2, 2017 • Jonathan Parnell

Jesus is the resurrection in that, if we believe in him, he will resurrect our physical bodies from the grave at the end of time. And Jesus is the life in that, if we believe in him, he gives us spiritual life now so that we will never spiritually die.
