Jesus' "I am" Statements

[Romans922]

Are there any good WEBSITES on the study of the I am Statements of Jesus?

And are there only seven of them?

 

[Contra_Mundum]

There are 7 in the book of John.

"I am the bread of life" 6:35, 41, 51

"I am the light of the world" 8:12, 9:5

"I am the door of the sheep" 10:7, 9

"I am the good shepherd" 10:11, 14

"I am the resurrection and the life" 11:25

"I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life" 14:6

"I am the vine" 15:1, 5


You could add this one: "I am the Son of God" 10:36, but this one is not commonly included.

 

[Romans922]

Do you also think that "Before Abraham was, I am" is significant to these statements?

 

[PresReformed]

Do you also think that "Before Abraham was, I am" is significant to these statements?

That was the first one that came to my mind.

Hello everyone, this is my first post here. I was referred here by gwine. I was reading posts and had to comment on this one, so I joined.

Another significant occurrence was in the Garden of Gethsemane:
John 18:4-6

4 So Jesus, knowing all the things that were coming upon Him, went forth and said to them, "Whom do you seek?"

5 They answered Him, "Jesus the Nazarene." He said to them, "I am He." And Judas also, who was betraying Him, was standing with them.

6 So when He said to them, "I am He," they drew back and fell to the ground.

Of course "He" is added by the translators to "help out".

 

[C. Matthew McMahon]

Its a use of this:

Exodus 3:14 And God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM." And He said, "Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, 'I AM has sent me to you.' "

John Frame has an excellent discussion of these I AM statements in The Doctrine of God
