At Open Road Students, our goal is to help them find good, true, and beautiful answers to life’s biggest questions. The most foundational of all those questions is the question of who God is and what He’s like. Because what we believe about God
shapes what we believe about everything else. In this series, The God Revealed in Jesus, we will journey through the gospels, introducing our students to the God revealed in Jesus. We will help them understand that they can know who God is and what He’s like by looking at Jesus—God in the flesh. And that in Jesus, we see a God who’s not distant or detached, but close and personal. A God who always keeps His promises and will do whatever it takes to bring us home.
Jesus is who He said He was, He did what He said He would do, and that changes everything for me and you.
John's gospel is a brilliant case study demonstrating the identity and integrity of Jesus. He records seven instances of Jesus revealing His identity using an "I am ..." statement and seven miraculous "signs," that Jesus performed, backing up who He said He was with what He did and how He lived. Through all of this, John wants us to see the Word that created the world in the very beginning is alive, real, and still working. That in Jesus, the Life that is truly life, is available to all of us. And because of Jesus, all things, including you, can be made new.
