Psalm 69
Jeremiah 22: 12-23
Romans 8: 12-27
John 6: 41-51
In John 8:58, Jesus says, "Very truly, I tell you, before Abraham was, I AM." (emphasis mine) Declaring himself to be transcendent - eternal God - beyond all that our minds can contain.
These "I AM" statements are peppered throughout John's gospel and we find one today in John 6:41-51 "I AM the bread of life".
There are others:
"I AM the light of the world" (John 8:12)
"I AM the door" (John 10:9-16)
"I AM the good shepherd" (John 10:11-18)
"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 vine" (John 15:5)
May we eat the bread, see the light, enter the door, follow the good shepherd, take part in the resurrection, embrace the way and abide in the vine. And find IN HIM we are enough.
