Jesus claimed to be both the Great I Am and the Son of the Father. How can Jesus be God and be with God? While our ability to understand the Eternal Triune God is difficult, the church has made a clear statement about “the eternal generation of the Son.” What does this mean, and more importantly, why does it make a difference in our daily walk with Christ? When we take a closer look, we can see how the beauty and greatness of Jesus beautifies and blesses our daily experience in Christ. (John 8.53-59)

Jesus identifies Himself as “the Good Shepherd,” both fulfilling the messianic hope that God would send a shepherd to lead His people and demonstrating God’s personalized care for each of us. Furthermore, in John 10, Jesus shares how He has come to bring us abundant life: by calling each sheep by name. And when He does, they hear His voice and follow Him, and He leads them to life abundant and eternal. And no one can snatch them out of His hands.
