The Seven ‘I Am’ Statements from Jesus

Jesus made this statement seven times in the Book of John

God had centuries earlier revealed Himself to Moses with the decisive statement, “I AM” (Exodus 3:14). 

Then, centuries later, Jesus used the same name (I AM) in the Gospel of John to describe Himself.

“I am the bread of life”. John 6:35

“I am the light of the world.” John 8:12

“I am the door of the sheep.” John 10:7-9

“I am the good shepherd.” John 10:11, 14

“I am the resurrection and the life.” John 11:25

“I am the way, the truth, and the life.” John 14:6

“I am the true vine.” John 15:1-5

Whenever Jesus said, “I am” he was pointing his listeners towards Himself as God of the Old Testament Scriptures that prophesied His coming.
