"If you can? All things are possible to him who believes." Mark 9:23

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord! Jesus in the Gospel of John Jesus said He came that we might have life and have it abundantly. The purpose of this study is to learn who Jesus is and show how we can have abundant life. Father, I want to know more about Your Son, Jesus Christ. Let lour Spirit teach me Your Words in the Book of John, so that I might have this abundant life that Jesus talks about. THE WORD Who is the Word? Read John 1:1. Where was the Word? ________________________________________________________________________________________________ What did the Word do? John. 1:14 ________________________________________________________________________________________________ Jesus, being with the Father and equal with the Father, because He is God, came to earth. The Father sent Jesus to earth. If we hear what Jesus says in our hearts and then believe it, what three things will happen? Jn. 5:24 ________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________ In I Samuel 12:24, it says that if we fear the Lord, serve Him and listen to His voice, then we will be following the Lord. This is what it means to abide in the Word of Jesus. Read John 8:31-32. What three things happen if you abide in Jesus' Word? ________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________ What happens if we reject Jesus and His Words? John. 12:48 ________________________________________________________________________________________________ To believe in Jesus is more than to acknowledge that He existed, or that what He said is right. To believe in Jesus is to act on what He said, if I told you that your house was going to fall down when the next strong wind came? you might agree with me, but if you didn't do something (either leave or fix your house)', then you didn't believe me. If we follow God's commandments, what are two things Jesus will do? John. 14:21 ________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________ LIVING WATER Natural water quenches thirst. What does the water of Jesus do? John. 4:14? ________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________ It quenches our thirst. But, it is not the thirst of the body; it is spiritual thirst. How do we get this water from Jesus? John. 7:38-39 ________________________________________________________________________________________________ If you have accepted the free gift of Jesus, the Holy Spirit is in you. Call to God to fill you with His Spirit and He will. BREAD Remember (John 1:1,14) that Jesus left heaven, where He was with the Father, and became a man. What does John 6:48 show us about Jesus? ________________________________________________________________________________________________ Bread is a type of food that we use to refer to as what is needed to sustain life, just as bread sustains our physical bodies, Jesus' Words sustain our spiritual lives. Jesus said in Matthew 4:4, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God." What do you receive if-you eat Jesus' bread? John. 6:51 ________________________________________________________________________________________________ As we eat bread, it becomes part of our physical body. in the same way, our spiritual being is built up as we believe in the Words of Jesus. JESUS IS THE LIGHT OP THE WORLD Light is a very important element in our world, without light we can't do very much. Jesus refers to Himself as light. Why did Jesus come? John. 12:46 ________________________________________________________________________________________________ Darkness is the absence of light, in the spiritual realm, darkness is the absence of Jesus. In darkness we do not know where we are going. Jesus has come to show us the way to spiritual life, in Jesus was what? John. 1 :4 ________________________________________________________________________________________________ Jesus is our example. What does John 8:12 say about those who follow him? ________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the true light comes into the world, what does it do? John. 1:9 ________________________________________________________________________________________________ Jesus has come that we may believe in Him so that we can become what? John. 12:35-36 ________________________________________________________________________________________________ Psalms 119:105 says,* "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path." This light shows us the way to Jesus. THE WAY John 14:6 - "I am the way, the truth and the life, no man comes unto the Father but by Me." Only one street leads to your house. If you want to get to your house, you must take the street that it is on. It is the same with God; there is only one way to God, and it is through His Son, Jesus Christ. There are many religions and many churches. There is only one way to God, and that is be­lieving in Jesus Christ, frany good works are done for the sake of salvation,, but they will not do any good. The way to God is to accept Jesus as your saviour, to-receive Him by grace. It is a free gift to those who will trust their lives to Him. TRUTH John 14:6 - "I am the way, the truth and the life, no man comes to the Father but through Me." What Jesus said is true. Jesus' life was truth. His death was true; it was a true sacrifice. His resurrection was true. It has more historical proof than most lives of famous leaders. You can't have truth if you don't have Jesus. You can know some true facts and philosophies, but you would not know the truth without Jesus, the author of truth. SHEPHERD Read John 10:1-30 List four things a shepherd does in verses 1-5. ________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________ In the same verses, list four things the sheep do. ________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________ How do we know a person is not a shepherd of the sheep? Jn. 10:5,12,13 ________________________________________________________________________________________________ Jesus now explains the parable, who or what is the door? John. 10:9 _________________________________________________________________________________________________ Why did. Jesus come?

When he was put in charge of his father's sheep, he fulfilled his job to the fullest. When a bear attacked, he fought the bear and killed it. He also fought off a lion and killed it. Jesus is our Shepherd, and He fought for us. He died for us on the cross, so that we might be saved from the penalty of sin. THE VINE What is the vine? John. 15:1 ________________________________________________________________________________________________ How are we related to the vine? John. 15:5 ________________________________________________________________________________________________ What are we to do in relationship to the vine? Jn. 15:4 ________________________________________________________________________________________________ Why are we to do this? v. 4 ________________________________________________________________________________________________ We won't bear fruit if we aren't united to the vine. The idea of the vine and the branches is to show unity, our purpose must always be to serve Jesus. What are the conditions to answered prayer? John. 15:7 ________________________________________________________________________________________________ What is Jesus' commandment? John. 15:12 ________________________________________________________________________________________________ Apart from Jesus we can do nothing. We should love others as Jesus ) loved us.

Did Jesus have emotions? John. 11:35 ________________________________________________________________________________________________ Jesus had thirst. John. 4:7 So, Jesus had feelings and needs like we have. Why were the Jews trying to kill Jesus? John. 5:18 ________________________________________________________________________________________________ What did Peter say of Jesus? John. 6:68-69 ________________________________________________________________________________________________ What does Jesus say of Himself? John. 10:30 ________________________________________________________________________________________________ Why do the Jews try to stone Jesus? John. 10:33 ________________________________________________________________________________________________ So, the Gospel of John presents Jesus Christ as a man and as the Son of God, and He is equal with God. RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE - ETERNAL LIFE Who is the resurrection and the life? John. 11:25 ________________________________________________________________________________________________ How do we get it? John. 11:25 ________________________________________________________________________________________________ Why did God send His Son into the world? John. 3:16 ________________________________________________________________________________________________ How does one receive eternal life? John. 3:16 ________________________________________________________________________________________________ If Jesus gives eternal life, who can take it away? John. 10:28 ________________________________________________________________________________________________ How can we get into the Kingdom of God? John. 3:3 ________________________________________________________________________________________________ How can we be born again? How can we enter into God's family? John. 1:12 ________________________________________________________________________________________________ Would you like to receive Jesus as your Saviour? If you do, repent, Luke 13:5 Asking God to forgive you of your sins. Acts 3:19, I John 1:9 Accept Christ's gift of salvation. Romans 5:8 Believe that Jesus has given you new life. "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast." Ephesians 2;8-9 Tell someone what Jesus has done for you. Romans 10:9-10 --- Scott McCrae Home | Back to Top
