Jesus said I am on seven occasions. Each I am is a
description Jesus gave of Himself and is recorded in Johns Gospel. The Seven
I am sayings help us better understand the divinity of Jesus Christ.
1. Bread
I am the
bread of life; he who comes to Me shall not hunger.� John 6:35
2. Light
I
am the light of the world; he who fallows Me shall not walk in the darkness, but
shall have the light of life.� John 8:12
3. Gate
I am the
gate; if anyone enters through Me, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out,
and find pasture.� John 10:9
4. Good
Shepherd
I am the
good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for His sheep.� John 10:11
5.
Resurrection and Life
I am the
resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me shall live even if he dies.�
John 11:25
6. Way,
Truth, Life
I am the way,
and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me.� John
14:6
7. True
vine
I am the
true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.� John 15:1
* The divinity of Jesus Christ is further illustrated in John 8:58. Jesus
said, Truly, Truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am�, which means
that Jesus existed before His human life on earth.
