In the Gospel of John, Jesus describes himself using seven “I am” statements.  The phrase “I am” reflects Exodus 3:14, where God introduces himself to Moses with the expression “I am who I am.” In using this expression, Jesus is explicitly identifying himself as God, and bearing God’s presence on earth. Each of these metaphors gives us a fuller picture of Jesus’ divine role and character. This series is focused on getting to know Jesus and how, according to John, we are meant to rely on and follow.
