Sometimes change is hard. Sometimes we have a hard time accepting new things. Jesus told a parable that speaks to us about the new…The New Covenant that is better than the old. Grace is more complete than the Law. We are a new creation in Christ. The old self has passed away. There will be a New Heaven and a New Earth. He will make all things new.

Vine and Branches
Many of Jesus’ parables relate to Israel’s way of life. Many people understood about sheepherding, vineyards and olive groves. That was their lifestyle. Jesus would teach with relatable stories. In this parable He teaches that our relationship with Him is much like a grape vine and its branches.

I thought it would be fun and interesting to go through the “I AM’s” in John that Jesus proclaims. Saying “I AM” was kind of taboo in the Jewish society because they did not want to utter God’s name Yahweh that he proclaims to Moses for the people, which means “I AM.” When Jesus said to the people, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM,” they were angry and offended because they did not believe that He was God (John 8:58). But He is and has shown through the miracles and His death and resurrection. He lives today in each of us that believe and trust in Jesus Christ. Today we will start with the first “I AM,” The Bread of Life. Continue reading “I AM’s…The Bread of Life”
New Covenant Living
I was debating on the title for this study between “New Covenant Living” and “Practical Christianity.” There is a lot in Hebrews 13 about how we are to conduct ourselves as Christians. It’s kind of a “now that I am saved, what do I do now?” instruction manual. Of course, it is not the only one. The New Testament is full of letters on how we are to live as a child of God. There have been a couple good studies on Hebrews that I went through that taught me a lot on this book, one by J.D. Graeer and one by Pete Briscoe. You can probably find both on YouTube or just google them. Anyways, some of this comes from notes I have from watching their studies. I hope this will strengthen you, encourage you and help you to grow in your walk with the Lord. May God bless you always! Continue reading “New Covenant Living”
