Why You Should Watch: The Secret to a "Perpetual High"
If you want to understand why the Christian life is meant to be the most enviable lifestyle on earth, you need to watch John Barnett’s teaching on the "I Am" titles of Jesus. In the session "WFM 01b 5 More I Am Titles Showing That Jesus Is The Pathway To Eternal Life.mp3", Barnett combines gritty reality with deep historical insight to explain what "real life" actually means.
1. He defines "real life" in a shocking way Barnett doesn’t shy away from difficult topics. He shares a personal story involving cocaine to illustrate a powerful point: even drug addicts often envy genuine Christians. Why? Because the "internal overflowing serenity, peace, and joy" of a believer looks like the "perpetual high" they are desperately chasing but cannot find. He argues that Jesus is the "Door" to the only life that truly satisfies.
2. He tackles the fears that keep you up at night Barnett connects ancient theology to modern anxiety by citing Ann Landers, who noted that the vast majority of the 10,000 letters she received daily were about fear—fear of death, disease, and disaster. Barnett uses Jesus’s claim to be "The Resurrection" to show how Christians can live without this crushing dread, resting in the power of an endless life rather than worrying about what comes next.
3. He brings history to life Barnett transports you to the dusty wells of the Negev in Israel to explain how shepherds separate their flocks simply by using their unique voice, illustrating what it means to truly "hear" and follow Jesus. He also quotes Aristides, a 2nd-century Roman writer, to describe how early Christians were so radically generous—rescuing abandoned babies and selling possessions to help prisoners—that their lifestyle was considered "irresistible" by the pagan world.
If you want to learn how to live a life that gets more wonderful and fruitful as you get older, rather than withering away, this teaching on "abiding in the Vine" is a must-watch.
