I AM that I AM (Exodus 3:14):  God reveals Himself to Moses 3500 years ago as the Eternal One Who always has been and always is and always will be.

I AM that bread of life (John 6:48):  He gives us His gift of eternal life and feeds us and keeps us strong spiritually.

I AM the light of the world (John 8:12):  Without the Lord Jesus we live in darkness far away from God's light, life, and truth.

I AM from above (John 8:23):  Jesus is not of this world; i.e. this world's man-centred system that insists on doing things "my way" rather than God's way.

Before Abraham was, I AM (John 8:58):  This is a clear indication of the Lord's eternal divinity.

I AM the door, by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved (John 10:9):  The only way into God's Kingdom is through Jesus; there is no other door or way in.

I AM the good shepherd (John 10:14):  He knows and leads His sheep personally.

I and my Father are one (John 10:30):  Jesus is part of the Holy Trinity in every way.

I AM the resurrection and the life (John 11:25):  Eternal life is from, and found in, Jesus alone.  Not one other religious leader has eternal life within himself, neither can they give it to others.

I AM the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me (John 14:6):  Please also see the witness of the apostle Peter to the same in Acts 4:10-12.

I AM Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending (Revelation 1:8).  I AM the first and the last (Revelation 1:17).  (See also Revelation 22:13):  There is no-one before or after Jesus.
 

"He which testifieth these things saith, 'Surely I come quickly'" (Revelation 22:20)
To which may we respond, "Come, Lord Jesus!"
