JOHN 8:58
58 Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.”

The seven “I am” statements of Jesus, recorded in the Gospel of John, are: “I am the bread of life”, “I am the light of the world”, “I am the door of the sheep”, “I am the good shepherd”, “I am the resurrection and the life”, “I am the way, the truth, and the life”, and “I am the true vine”. These statements, unique to John’s Gospel, emphasize Jesus’s divine identity and purpose.
Here’s a more detailed explanation of the first I AM:
John 6:35
35 And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.

- The Bread of Life: Jesus uses the metaphor of bread, a staple food for sustenance, to represent himself as the source of spiritual life and satisfaction.
- Spiritual Hunger and Thirst: Jesus is not referring to physical hunger and thirst, but rather to the spiritual emptiness and longing that people experience.
- Coming to Jesus: To “come to me” implies seeking Jesus, believing in his teachings, and making him the center of one’s life.
- Never Hungry or Thirsty: By seeking Jesus and believing in him, individuals will experience a profound spiritual satisfaction that surpasses earthly possessions or pleasures.
- Context: This passage follows Jesus’ miracle of feeding 5,000 people, highlighting the symbolic nature of bread and its connection to spiritual nourishment.
Lord Jesus Christ is the true bread that came from heaven to feed those who are spiritually hungry and thirsty for the word of God.
Dear heavenly Father, please accept me just the way I am. Father, I hunger and thirst for the spiritual bread that came from heaven. Please feed me as I am poor in spirit. Father from this time forth onwards, I commit my life at the feet of Jesus. I want to be your doulos, Your bondservant. Father I accept Your invitation to come into Your presence and from now on I will lead a holy life. Father I accept that Jesus Christ is the only way, the truth and the life. He is the only way to lead me to You Father. Father, use me for your glory. In Jesus precious name I offer this prayer. Amen and Amen.
If you said this prayer you have instantly become a born again believer in Jesus Christ.
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.
Maranatha! Come Lord Jesus!
