Jesus Revealed: The I Am Statements In The Gospel of John

By Matt Rawle

Light. Bread. Shepherd. Life. The Gospel of John uses these and other symbols to paint a picture of who Jesus is. Through the I Am statements Jesus describes himself with rich images, showing us that he is both fully human and fully divine and calling us as his followers. In Jesus Revealed: The I Am Statements in the Gospel of John, author Matt Rawle explores the “I Am” statements in John as works of art that resonate throughout the Gospel and all of Scripture. He shows how these words point beyond themselves to the deep mystery of Jesus Christ. Join Matt on this journey and experience the profound truth at the heart of the “I Am” statements: that Jesus is light and life, and he calls us to himself and offers us the hope of resurrection.

Please join our rescheduled Upside Down Church conversation on Neurodiversity. We will watch a discussion on neurodiversity between Rev. Heather Gottas and Dr. Brian Plante where they engage the various ways that individuals think, how their brain processes information, how that shapes their experience of the world, and how neurodiversity can be seen within day-to-day life, within the Church, and within our theology.

For more information message Pastor Brian at upsidedownchurchumc@gmail.com.
