Jesus I Am: The Light: 3d Bible Matrix Project

JESUS I AM: THE LIGHT is part of the JESUS I AM SERIES within the 3D BIBLE MATRIX PROJECT. The Jesus I AM series is for new and mature believers, who want to get to know Jesus in a deep, rich, and meaningful way. To know Him for who He really is: the Deity of Jesus, the Christ, the I AM. To understand that He is and He gives of Himself so that we can walk worthy of the calling in Christ Jesus, not out of duty but delight. To know that we are never alone, we are in Him, and Him in us, and that our lives can be a fragrant offering of love.

JESUS I AM: THE LIGHT is technically not a book. It’s a compilation of Scriptures that help readers ‘get understanding’ about Jesus being Light and giving light. For instance, Jesus said in John 9, “While I am in the world, I am the Light of the world.” And again, “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.” What other Scriptures in the Bible help us understand what Jesus meant by “I am the light” and “you are the light?” This is that – a study of all times Jesus said I am the light and how He gives us light.

AN ADVENTURE – for me studying the results of these Word-phrases is not so much an intellectual or clinical study of Scripture, but rather a heartfelt journey with Jesus, who is the Word. I’m learning from Him, and learning to be a doer of His Word, in fellowship with Him, delighting in Him. Then together we go!

FELLOWSHIP can be a key part of the learning process. Bible study leaders are given a facilitator guide in the back of the book to inspire interactive participation. The questions keep us focused on what God is teaching us in His Word. We learn from the Scriptures, learn from each other, and learn about each other (fellowship in Christ and love for one another). And hopefully we become doers of the Word and not forgetful hearers.

SMALL GROUP FACILITATION GUIDE provides instruction on how to facilitate a home group, life group, or Bible study. Facilitating differs from teaching. The goal of a facilitator is to encourage full engagement from everyone, with less attention on self. Together, we inspire interactive conversations about the Scriptures being read.

3D BIBLE MATRIX PROJECT –What’s a 3D Bible Matrix? We search intriguing words and phrases in the Bible, plus their synonyms and antonyms, and sort them into word phrases. Each word phrase becomes a matrix. There are three or more matrices in each “book.” Verses are put into context (a paragraph), key points are highlighted, and questions are created that point back to the Biblical verb phrase being researched (usually the name of the ‘book’). The reader therefore learns from the living Word of God. It’s 100% truth, no opinions or philosophies added, and no Scriptures removed. The result is an interactive learning experience with Jesus, who is the Word of God made flesh. We delight in Him, ‘get understanding’ from Him, and hopefully engage in interactive fellowship with one another in the process.
