The Resurrection and the Life - Part 2 (8 of 11)
Series: I Am

John 11:38-44
How many of you are facing a problem today? How many of you would say that it would take a miracle to solve your problem? Well, I have some wonderful news to tell you today: there is no problem that is greater than the Lord Jesus Christ!
Now I can hear somebody say, ''Ernest, you don't know how big my problem is.'' Perhaps not, but you don't know how BIG my God is!
Got any rivers that you cannot cross?

Not only did Jesus make these seven I AM statements describing what He does, He then authenticated or backed up what He said with a miracle!
For instance, Jesus not only declared in John 6.48, ''I AM the bread of life,'' He authenticated it by feeding 5000 people with five loaves of bread and two fish.
Or in John 8.12, Jesus not only declared, ''I AM the light of the world,'' He authenticated it by giving sight to a man born blind!

Or in John 10.11, Jesus not only declared, ''I AM the Good Shepherd,'' He authenticated it by walking on the water in the middle of storm out to His disciples who were caught in that storm fearing for their life. Do you remember what Jesus said to them? ''It i ...
