March 23 "I Am the Gate"
John 10:1-10
We tend to think of gates and doors as things that keep people out, but they're also things that can let people in. When Jesus calls himself "the gate," He means not only is He the door to salvation, but also the door to being filled with new life here and now.
"I Am"
Lent is the season of preparation for Easter, a time to reflect deeply on Jesus- his identity, teachings, and death on the cross—so we can fully understand and celebrate His resurrection. This year, we will focus on the "I am" statements in the Gospel of John. While all four Gospels include instances where Jesus uses the Greek phrase "ego eimi," meaning "I am," John's Gospel records Jesus doing so over 30 times, more than twice the other Gospels combined. Among these, seven instances feature profound metaphors that Jesus used to describe Himself. Throughout Lent, we will explore these seven metaphors, gaining a deeper and richer understanding of who Jesus was and is.
