A series of events unfold in John 12:1-33 that point to Jesus as the Messiah and foreshadow His coming death on the cross. As we watch Mary anoint His feet with costly perfume, see how He perfectly fulfills Old Testament prophecy, and hear Jesus directly predict His death on the cross, we learn about true worship, God’s glory, salvation, and the defeat of Satan.

A Bible teaching titled “I AM the True Vine” from John 15:1-5 by Brett Meador.

Mary and Martha are mourning the loss of Lazarus as they wonder why their brother had to die and why Jesus delayed coming to them in John 11. As Jesus shows up on the scene and brings Lazarus back to life, we see the importance of waiting on God's timing, how this miracle was for God's glory, and how this would become the catalyst that begins Jesus' journey to the cross.

In John 14:6, Jesus makes His sixth "I Am" statement that He is the way, the truth, and the life. As we explore the radical implications of this declaration, we learn what makes Jesus the only path to salvation, the only reliable source of truth, and the only provider of abundant life.

Using sheep and shepherd analogies that would be highly relevant to the people of that day, Jesus shares God’s plan for salvation in John 10. As we listen to His illustrations, we learn about the only way to be saved, how to ensure we are a part of the flock, what predators we should watch for, and the benefits of sticking with the Shepherd.

Lazarus was dead and buried for four days when Jesus finally arrived on the scene, raised him back to life, and demonstrated His power over life and death. As the story of this astounding miracle unfolds, Jesus makes His fifth "I Am" statement in John 11:25-27, and we learn how He has conquered death and secured eternal life for those who believe.
