John 10:14 - I AM ____ and if you know Him, He will _____ you. Do you have an intimate relationship with your heavenly Father who promises to know you and love you and lay down His life for you? What keeps you from desiring that intimacy with the Almighty?
John 11:25 - I AM ____ and if you believe in Me, even if you die, you will _____. In this context, Martha’s brother Lazarus had died and she was begging Jesus to bring him to life. Jesus assures her
