Purpose: <\/span><\/strong>The purpose of this discussion is to use the images provided to reflect on your own modern day image for Jesus.<\/p>\n

Overview: <\/span><\/strong>John records various metaphors that Jesus uses to describe his own identity. These metaphors take the form the following \u201cI am\u201d statements: <\/p>\n

    \n
  • \u201cI am the bread of life\u201d (6:35, 51)<\/span><\/li>\n
  • \u201cI am the light of the world\u201d (8:12; 9:5)<\/span><\/li>\n
  • \u201cI am the door\u201d (10:7, 9)<\/span><\/li>\n
  • \u201cI am the good shepherd\u201d (10:11, 14)<\/span><\/li>\n
  • \u201cI am the resurrection and the life\u201d (11:25)<\/span><\/li>\n
  • \u201cI am the way, the truth, and the life\u201d (14:6)<\/span><\/li>\n
  • \u201cI am the true vine\u201d (15:1, 5)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Just like each of these scriptures captures something distinct about Jesus, different individuals throughout Christian history have created artistic representations of Jesus that each aim to communicate something true about him. <\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

    Post: <\/span><\/strong>For your discussion post, in 300-350 words, compose a modern “I Am” statement that reflects who Jesus is to you (whether you are a follower of Christ or not). For example, instead of “Jesus is my Good Shepherd,” you could say, “Jesus is my GPS,” or “Jesus is my subway station.” After you articulate this image, explain it to your peers. Feel free to offer personal stories that may elaborate on the statement you chose. <\/span>
