Jesus said, I AM ...





The Bread

Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.

I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”


 

The Light

[ Dispute Over Jesus’ Testimony ] When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”



The Door

Therefore Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep.

I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture.

 

The Good Shepherd

“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

“I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me—


The Resurrection and Life

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die;

 


 The Way, the Truth, The Life


Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.


 (It says in Swedish: Have no anxiety, Do not lose heart )

The True Vine

[ The Vine and the Branches ] “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.

2014 Honor Jesus.




John 5:22  
The Father does not judge anyone but has entrusted all judgment to the Son, 23 so that all may honor the Son as they honor the Father. Whoever fails to honor the Son is not honoring the Father who sent him. 24 Yes, indeed! I tell you that whoever hears what I am saying and trusts the One who sent me has eternal life — that is, he will not come up for judgment but has already crossed over from death to life!

End of 2013




Isaiah 55:10-11
Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)
10 For just as rain and snow fall from the sky
and do not return there, but water the earth,
causing it to bud and produce,
giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater;
11 so is my word that goes out from my mouth —
it will not return to me unfulfilled;
but it will accomplish what I intend,
and cause to succeed what I sent it to do.”

From the book “Wellcome to the house of my heart” by Eva SpÃ¥ngberg.
(from Swedish “Välkommen till mitt Hjärtas hus”)
Eva Spångberg was a Swedish artist who worked with carving in wood. In her book the following translation is from day 31.

“Have I the right to take a Bible verse that God gave in a given moment in time and apply it on my own life? May I. as I have done in this little book, give these old words to you from God? The Lord once said to his people: “These words that I give you today; you shall keep in your hearts” He said that these holy words were meant for his own people; Israel.
But the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. If Jesus hadn’t come the old words would have only applied to those who first received them. But through Jesus the words also apply to us. Through Jesus they are brought from God right into our own lives.
Jesus makes the words come alive. When we open the door of our heart and accept the word of the Bible we accept Jesus himself. He comes to you from God.”

Wishing you a Blessed New Year 2014 

Sincerely yours,Ida
