I AM……..
The term ...I AM , speaks of the eternal nature of God,the ever present One
First given to Moses as the name by which He could be known
it is taken up by Jesus as he describes attributes which are evidence of his too being the holy One.
He speaks of himself as being the door, the vine, the good shepherd,and the resurrection and the life.
In explaining the means of entry into the kingdom, the expression I AM the door he used to describe Himself.
Stating that none shall enter except through faith in Him as the Son of God.
Describing himself as IAM the vine he reminds those who trust in Him that they must remain in Him.
It is only when we do so, that we can develop as believers and bear fruit in His service.
I AM the good shepherd, describes the Lord as the One who seeks us in the helplessness of our lives
showing the incomparable love and sacrifice he is prepared to endure for our salvation.
Finally we read of him saying ; I AM the resurrection and the life
a statement reminding us of the promise of an eternity to be enjoyed in His presence.
