Journey to Calvary: “I Am”

Mar 4

As we enter the Lent Season, we’re back in our series “Journey to Calvary” for Bible Study. In our current lesson, “I Am” we look at Mark 14:61-62 and discover what the Savior meant when he declared two simple words: “I Am.”

TAKEAWAYS FROM THE LESSON

Jesus, the Son of God, fulfills a divine role. For Jesus to delcare Himself as the Son of God is the same as saying that Jesus is God.

John 5:18 | Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
John 10:36 | “Do you say of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?”
John 19:7 | The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.
John 10:30,33 | I and my Father are one. The Jews answered Him, saying, “For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy, and because You, being a Man, make Yourself God.”

As the Son of God, Jesus fulfills the following:

Jesus Gave His Life | Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

Men and Women Declared Him to Be the Son of God | Matthew 27:54 - So when the centurion and those with him, who were guarding Jesus, saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they feared greatly, saying, “Truly this was the Son of God!” John 11:27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.
Jesus is Believed In | John 9:35, 39 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when He had found him, He said to him, “Do you believe in the Son of God?” 39 And he said, Lord, I believe.

Acts 8:37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
