As we continue our series in The Gospel of John this week, Tim will talk about Jesus’ statement where He says “I AM the bread of Life”.
This isn’t about lunch or satisfying a physical need. It’s about satisfying your soul. In John there are 23 “I AM” statements made by Jesus. In several of these, He joins His “I AM” with seven tremendous metaphors that are expressive of His saving relationship toward the world:
- I AM the Bread of life — John 6:35, 41, 48, 51
- I AM the Light of the world — John 8:12
- I AM the Gate for the sheep — John 10:7, 9
- I AM the Good Shepherd — John 10:11, 14
- 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 true Vine — John 15:1, 5
I keep coming back to our key verse, John 20:31, “but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name.”
