2. Direct Claims of Jesus I am the Light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes on Me shall never thirst. I am the Resurrection and the Life! He who believes in Me, though he die, yet he shall live. I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.

3. Direct Claims of Jesus I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father but by me I am the Vine, you are the branches.

He that believes on me, as the scripture has said, from within him shall flow rivers of living water

God does not prove himself by a series of propositions, he reveals himself in a person, and the way we respond to a living person, is very different and much more demanding than our response to a logical proposition.
