Jesus declares He is the Good Shepherd in John 10:11-15 and then tells us what this means for the sheep. As we dig deeper into what Jesus is saying, we see how it relates to one of the Bible's most famous passages – Psalm 23, the benefit of sticking with the Shepherd, and how this concept encompasses Jesus' Death, Resurrection, and Second Coming.

After a dramatic scene where Jesus forgives a woman caught in adultery, an intense dialogue ensues as the religious leaders mock Jesus, try to discredit Him, and make foolish statements to defend their narrative. As we watch both of these scenes unfold in John 8, we see the stark contrast between the bondage of legalism and the grace, freedom, and forgiveness found in Jesus Christ.

In the third "I Am" statement of Jesus in John 10:7-9, we find Jesus declaring Himself the Door for the Sheep. But why exactly do sheep need a door, and what does this mean for us? As we look into the symbolism behind this statement, we see the purpose of this door, why there is only one, and how we can enter it to find protection, rest, and eternal life in Jesus.

There is a lot of discussion about who Jesus really is during the Feast of Tabernacles in John 7. As the people debate the hot topic of the day, we see them use faulty logic and so-called intellectualism to make assumptions about Jesus that will only cause them to reject Him and ultimately lead to their destruction.

Jesus declares He is the Light of the World in His second "I Am" statement in John 8:12, illuminating a concept that we see from the beginning in Genesis to our present command as Christians to reflect His light. As we study, we learn why this is such a weighty declaration, how to discern between true and false light, and how to ensure we point those who live in ever-increasing darkness toward Jesus.

Jesus has a jam-packed 24 hours in John 6 as He feeds 5,000 men (plus women and children!) with only five loaves and two fish, calms a storm as He walks across the Sea of Galilee, and launches into a deep theological discourse on how He is the Bread of Life. As we look into the significance behind these events, we see how Jesus astutely responds to the people's inquiries to show them who He is and what they must do to be saved.
