"And God said unto Moses, I Am That I Am: ……Exodus 3:14

This unique name of God was given to stress the truth that He is eternal and everlasting .The name "LORD" conveys the truth that He is the eternal,  the existing One.

 Read out a collection of great "I am's" in the gospel of John- they are rich with spiritual meaning and can be listed as follows:

 “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. John 6:35.

‘I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. John 6:51

 “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”John 8:12

"I am the door of the sheep" John 10:7

“I am the good shepherd. …… lays down his life for the sheep." John 10:11

 “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die;" John 11:25

 “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6

" I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener" John 15:1

These verses help us to pray more enthusiastically "that God may be all in all" 1 Corinthians 15:28.

 

'I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. Revelation 22:13

Praise God
