Behold the Lamb
The Good Shepherd
The Bread of Life. The Light of the World. The Resurrection and the Life. The Way, the Truth, and the Life. The True Vine. The Door of the Sheep. The Good Shepherd. These are the seven I AM statements made by Jesus in the Gospel of John. With each statement, Jesus is not only telling us what He is like, He is proclaiming who He is as the promised Messiah, the Son of God, and the Savior of the world. In the Old Testament, the prophets lamented the false shepherds of God’s people and promised that God Himself would be the true shepherd to come for their rescue. Join us this Sunday as we continue our series in the Gospel of John and find out why Jesus is the Good Shepherd.
Invite friends and family to worship in-person with us on Sunday at 8:00 (Chapel), 9:30 or 11:00 a.m. or online at pcpc.org/live/, the PCPC App with an iOS or Android device, Facebook, or YouTube.
