Jesus said ‘I am’ on seven occasions. Each ‘I am’ is a
description Jesus gave of Himself and is recorded in John’s 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. |
