May) Session three: Resurrection and life: Leading us into abundant life (John 11 and 14)
This final session revolves around the third dimension of I AM: God’s promise to lead God’s people into abundant life. From before creation to the time of Moses to today, this is God’s enduring promise to God’s people. In declaring that he is “the resurrection and the life,” and “the way, the truth, and the life,” Jesus is stepping into this grand tradition, reminding God’s people to cling to God’s promise, God’s very holy name: I AM. God has promised to be with God’s people—to abide with us, to guide us, to protect us, and to lead us into abundant life, now and forever
