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 fifth I AM:

John 11:25

²⁵ Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. 

In John 11:25, Jesus, speaking to Martha, states, “I am the resurrection and the life.” This means that he is the source of resurrection and eternal life, and whoever believes in Him will live, even though they die, and those who live in faith will never die. 

Here’s a more detailed breakdown:

Significance: This verse is a key affirmation of Jesus’s deity and His role as the source of salvation and eternal life. It also emphasizes the importance of faith and trust in Jesus for experiencing this life.

“I am the resurrection and the life”: This is a declarative statement, not a promise. It asserts that Jesus is the very essence of resurrection and eternal life, not just something he does or will do. 

“Whoever believes in me will live”: This emphasizes the importance of faith in Jesus for receiving this life, even after physical death. 

“Even though they die”: This clarifies that while physical death is inevitable, faith in Jesus transcends it, leading to eternal life. 

“And whoever lives and believes in me will never die”: This reinforces the concept of eternal life for believers, highlighting that their spiritual existence is not limited by death. 

The context: This statement is made in the context of Martha mourning the death of her brother Lazarus, who was also a friend of Jesus. Jesus’s words are intended to offer comfort and hope, assuring Martha that she and her brother will be reunited in the afterlife. 

Do you want to become a partaker in the kingdom of God and join the group of believers whose Shepherd is Jesus Christ allegorically speaking? If so, today is the day and now is the time to chose Christ Jesus as your personal Savior.

Lord Jesus Christ is the resurrection and life of His sheep. He is the door that will protect His children from being carried away by this world. He is our shield and rampart from the devil and his followers.

Dear heavenly Father, I believe in Jesus Christ who has come into this world to save me and to protect me from this evil world. Father, I believe that Jesus Christ is the resurrection and life. Father, I am willing to commit my life at the feet of Jesus at this moment. Father I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. For He is the only way to lead me to You Father. Father, use me for your glory for the rest of my time on this earth. Thank you for giving me the eternal life through Your Son Jesus Christ. 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!
