Who is Jesus? John’s inspired gospel account of our Savior’s ministry will help you answer this question biblically, and it will also help you understand just how important the answer to your question is. When you fall into sin or are tempted to sin or when you suffer hardship and loss, there is great comfort in knowing who Jesus is—the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.
Humble Servant As the Son of God, Jesus had it all—perfect communion with both the Father and the Holy Spirit and the glories of heaven. But Jesus left it all behind to humble himself, taking on our human flesh and suffering his whole life long and especially at the cross. In life Jesus faced humiliation through outright rejection. Even as he preached the gospel and performed mighty miracles, his enemies falsely accused him and even took up stones to kill him (John 5–9). So, why would the Son of God become a humble, suffering servant?
The Way, the Truth, and the Life If you live in a godly home, you have probably known from a very young age what it looks like to be a Christian. But simply knowing about God and acting like a Christian isn’t enough. And trusting in your own ability to live a life that looks good to others is not the way to friendship and fellowship with God. The only way to the Father is Jesus. He makes the way through his death and resurrection and leads us in this way by his Spirit. As you read through John 10–15, pray that Jesus will lead you in this way—the way of repentance, belief, and trust in him—because it is the only way to true peace and eternal life.
That You Might Believe In today’s world, we can feel as if everything is shifting beneath our feet. Headlines are filled with news of uncertainty. Social media presents a constant stream of opinions and pressures, making it hard to find solid ground. How can you stay hopeful and grounded when everything around you feels unpredictable? Jesus’ disciples found themselves in a similar situation as they followed him through the final days of his earthly ministry. In John 16–21, they wrestled with fear, confusion, and uncertainty. But Jesus provided words of encouragement. His promises of the coming of the Holy Spirit, peace beyond understanding, and the certainty of his victory over death gave the disciples deep comfort.
What others are saying about this series:
"This devotional is intended for teens, but like most good books, other ages would be blessed by reading it. I read several of the devotions aloud to all of my children at breakfast; now I’m passing it along to the teens in our home to read in its entirety. And I’m looking forward to the next three installments in the series. In my busy season of life and as Christmas approaches, I’m grateful for the opportunities this little book granted me to consider, Who is Jesus? After all, there is no other question in all the world that is more important or more urgent." – Sarah Mowery (Loveland, CO) on Who is Jesus?, book 1
"The book encourages us to walk with Christ daily and always trust in him...This devotional is a good way to remind yourself to follow Jesus and trust in him because he showed us how to be humble and loving. Whether you're a teen or an adult this is a great book to help you grow in your spiritual journey." – Sarah De Boer (Grandville, MI) on Humble Servant, book 2
