The "I am" Statements

The "I am" Statements Twenty-three times in all we find our Lord's meaningful "I am" (ego eimi, Greek) in the Greek text of this Gospel (John 4:26; 6:20, 35, 41, 48, 51; 8:12, 18, 24, 28, 58; 10:7, 9, 11, 14; 11:25; 13:19; 14:6; 15:1, 5; 18:5, 6, 8). In several of these, he joins his "I am" with seven tremendous metaphors, which are expressive of his saving relationship toward the world. "I am the bread of life" (John 6:35, 41, 48, 51). "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, and the truth, and the life" (John 14:6). "I am the true vine" (John 15:1, 5). ©1997 by Thomas Nelson, Inc.

The Glories of Christ

The Glories of Christ "Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God . . ." (2 Cor. 3:5) One of the great tenets of Scripture is the claim that Jesus Christ is completely sufficient for all matters of life and godliness (2 Pet. 1:3–4)! He is sufficient for creation (Col. 1:16–17), salvation (Heb. 10:10–12), sanctification (Eph. 5:26–27), and glorification (Rom. 8:30). So pure is he that there is no blemish, stain, spot of sin, defilement, lying, deception, corruption, error, or imperfection (1 Pet. 1:18–20). So complete is he that there is no other God besides him (Isa. 45:5); he is the only begotten Son (John 1:14, 18); all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are in him (Col. 2:3); the fullness of deity dwells bodily in him (Col. 2:9); he is heir of all things (Heb. 1:2); he created all things and all things were made by him, through him, and for him (Col. 1:16); he holds all things together by the word of his power (Col. 1:17; Heb. 1:3); he is the firstborn of all creation (Col. 1:15); he is the exact imprint of God (Heb. 1:3). He is the only Mediator between God and man; he is the Sun that enlightens; the Physician that heals; the Wall of Fire that defends; the Friend that comforts; the Pearl that enriches; the Ark that supports; and the Rock to sustain under the heaviest of pressures; he is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty on high (Heb. 1:3; 8:1); he is superior to the angels (Heb. 1:4–14); better than Moses; better than Aaron; better than Joshua; better than Melchizedek; better than all the prophets; greater than Satan (Luke 4:1– 12); and stronger than death (1 Cor. 15:55). He has no beginning and no end (Rev. 1:17–18); he is the spotless Lamb of God; he is our Peace (Eph. 2:14); he is our Hope (1 Tim. 1:1); he is our Life (Col. 3:4); he is the living and true Way (John 14:6); he is the Glory of Israel (1 Sam. 15:29); he is the Root and Descendant of David, the Bright Morning Star (Rev. 22:16); he is Faithful and True (Rev. 19:11); he is the Founder and Perfecter of our faith (Heb. 12:1–2); he is the Founder of our Salvation (Heb. 2:10); he is the Champion; he is the Chosen One (Isa. 42:1); he is the Apostle and High Priest of our confession (Heb. 3:1); he is the Righteous Servant (Isa. 53:11). He is the Lord of Hosts, the Redeemer—the Holy One of Israel, the God of the whole earth (Isa. 54:5); he is the Man of Sorrows (Isa. 53:3); he is the Light; he is the Son of Man (Matt. 20:28); he is the Vine; he is the Bread of Life; he is the Door; he is Lord (Phil. 2:10–13); he is Prophet, Priest, and King (Heb. 1:1–3); he is our Sabbath rest (Heb. 4:9); he is our Righteousness (Jer. 23:6); he is the Wonderful Counselor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace (Isa. 9:6); he is the Chief Shepherd (1 Pet. 5:4); he is Lord God of hosts; he is Lord of the nations; he is the Lion of Judah; the Living Word; the Rock of Salvation; the Eternal Spirit; he is the Ancient of Days; Creator and Comforter; Messiah; and he is the great I am (John 8:58)! ©1997 by Thomas Nelson, Inc.
