Praise I AM
God—Father, Son, Holy Spirit—has progressively revealed Himself to us. To Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, He showed Himself as God Almighty. (Exodus 6:3)
It wasn’t until Moses that He declared His name to be Yahweh, I AM.
I AM WHO I AM. This is My name forever, and this is My memorial-name to all generations. (Exodus 3:14-15)
God further revealed Himself through Jesus. (See Hebrews 1:1-4)
Jesus is I AM
Before Abraham was born, I AM. (John 8:58)
Remember:
Jesus told us when we saw Him, we saw the Father. (John 14:9)
And the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and was sent by the Son. (John 15:26)
In Jesus, therefore, we see I AM. Jesus explained and demonstrated I AM.
I AM:
The bread of life (John 6:35)—our source of eternal life, and the food to satisfy our spiritual hunger.
The Light of the world (John 8:12; 9:5)—our illumination so we, His followers, won’t walk in darkness.
The door (John 10:7)—our way into heaven.
The Good Shepherd (John 10:11)—who laid down His life for us, His sheep.
The resurrection and the life (John 11:25)—so that through Him we, believers, will have eternal life.
The way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6)—He showed us the Truth, marked out the way, and demonstrated true life. He is how believers come to the Father.
The true vine (John 15:1)—when we abide in Him, we bear fruit.
The Great I AM
