Jesus’ seven statements about himself (as recorded in John’s gospel) creatively and clearly reveal his true identity, character and purpose. When we see Jesus more clearly, we can also expect to receive more clarity on our own identity, character and purpose. Rooted in Jesus’ own self-descriptions, we humans then find ourselves defined. This summer, we’ve explored these famous and transformative images from Jesus, hearing from seven different voices in our church.
Today, we conclude by hearing from Mike Vaters and a discussion with two members of our community, sharing how our knowing about Jesus (knowledge) moves toward knowing Jesus and the fullness of his Spirit (experience).
