I AM Part One

 

In Matthew 22:32 Jesus declare to the Sadducees  I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living.” 

In Exodus 3;14 the LORD stated these words to Moses,’I AM WHOM I AM “  meaning Yahweh, Because of  holiness of God the Scribes  would not  write Yahweh instead they wrote Jehovah meaning the great I AM meaning I AM BECAUSE I AM or I WILL BE THAT I WILL BE. Meaning God of the past, present and future in short an eternal God who has no beginning and no end or the same or unchanging yesterday today and forever.  In the Greek the words are solemnly emphatic and echo Ex 3:14 

Jesus answered, ‘before Abraham was born, I am!’ At this, they picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus hid himself, slipping away from the temple grounds” (John 8:56–59). The violent response of the Jews to Jesus’ “I AM” statement indicates they clearly understood what He was declaring—that He was the eternal God incarnate. Jesus was equating Himself with God.

 When Jesus  uttered I AM in found John;6:41,48,51, John; 10:7,  John;14:6  John,15:1,5,  He was claiming that he is that God  found Exodus 3;14. Without doubt He display His power, where eyewitness gave accounts of His deity when He demonstrated in His miracles. 

 ‘before Abraham was born, I am!’ At this, they picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus hid himself, slipping away from the temple grounds” (John 8:56–59). The violent response of the Jews to Jesus’ “I AM” statement indicates they clearly understood what He was declaring—that He was the eternal God incarnate. Jesus was equating Himself with the “I AM” title God Exodus 3:14.. 

.CS Lewis wrote about Jesus, “Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse.” Furthermore he states, “Jesus could only have been one of four things: a legend, a liar, a lunatic–or Lord and God.

I AM The Bread Of Life

 In NIV Study Notes; 6:35 I am. The first of seven (the number of completeness and perfection) self-descriptions of Jesus introduced by “I am” (see 8:12; [9:5;] 10:7, 9; 10:11, 14; 11:25; 14:6; 15:1, 5; see also chart). In the Greek the words are solemnly emphatic and echo Ex 3:14 (see notes on Ex 3:12–15) and the seven “I am he” statements in Isaiah (41:4; 43:10, 13, 25; 46:4; 48:12; 51:12). Cf. note on 2:11. the bread of life. May mean “the bread that is living” and/or “the bread that gives life.” What is implied in v. 33 is now made explicit, and it is repeated with minor variations in vv. 41, 48, 51.

 

John; 6;35 Jesus declared “I am the bread of life,” Jesus told them. “No one who comes to Me will ever

In KJV Commentary I am the bread of life means the bread that gives life. The life of which He speaks is spiritual and eternal.  In John 4:14. Jesus declared these words to  But whoever drinks from the water that I will give him will never get thirsty again–ever! In fact, the water I will give him will become a well of water springing up within him for eternal life.” Christ he gives life to dead sinners. Jesus stated that he is the life-giving bread, by which our souls are nourished In short our souls are provided bread from that comes from heaven. Jesus also declared Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness,[g]for they will be satisfied.  

In John 6;51  Jesus stated If anyone eats of this bread he will live forever. The bread that I will give for the life of the world is My flesh.” John MacArthur For My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.   Jesus refers here prophetically to His impending sacrifice upon the cross (cf. 2 Cor. 5:21; 1 Pet. 2:24). Jesus voluntarily laid down His life for evil, sinful mankind (10:18; 1 John 2:2).

I AM The Light Of The World 

John 8:12 “I am the light of the world. Anyone who follows Me will never walk in the darkness but will have the light of life.”“I am the light of the world. Anyone who follows Me will never walk in the darkness but will have the light of life.”

John Calvin wrote It is a beautiful commendation of Christ, when he is called the light of the world; for, since we are all blind by nature, a remedy is offered, by which we may be freed and rescued from darkness and made partakers of the true light.

Believer Bible Commentary  Naturally speaking, the world is in the darkness of sin, ignorance, and aimlessness.” 

Furthermore he, “The light of the world is Jesus. Apart from Him, there is no deliverance from the blackness of sin. Apart from Him, there is no guidance along the way of life, no knowledge as to the real meaning of life and the issues of eternity. Jesus promised that anyone following Him would not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.

To follow Jesus means to come to Him in repentance, to trust Him as Lord and Savior, and then to commit one’s whole life to Him. Those who do this have guidance in life and clear and bright hope beyond the grave.

John Calvin wrote, “For Christ declares that he is the light of the whole world; for by this universal statement he intended to remove the distinction, not only between Jews and Gentiles, but between the learned and ignorant, between persons of distinction and the common people.”

We take a candle into a room to dispel the darkness. Likewise, the Light of Jesus Christ has to be taken into the darkness of sin that engulfs the hearts and lives of those who are not following Him. That’s the condition behind having this Light—that we follow Him. If we do not follow Him, we will not have this light, this truth, this eternal life.
