I AM

“I AM” is the simplest of sentence structures. There is a noun and there is a verb. Jesus uses these words to reveal his identity. When Jesus gives his seven I AM statements in the gospel of John, he is revealing that he is God and he is working to save humanity. In Exodus 3, I AM is the name God gives to Moses as he begins working to save his people from slavery in Egypt. I AM is the name Jesus gives to his disciples as he works to save his people from slavery to sin.
