These names emphasize His eternal presence and sufficiency in fulfilling our spiritual needs.  Through the narrative of Moses and the burning bush, where God reveals Himself as "I AM," the connection to Jesus proclaiming His own deity is made clear in the Gospel of John.  Jesus's "I am" statements in John—declaring Himself as the bread of life, the light of the world, the door, the resurrection and the life, the good shepherd, the way, the truth, and the life, and the true vine—reinforce His identity and mission.  This teaching reassures that in Jesus, we find the answer to our own identity, our purpose, and the fulfillment of all our needs, as He embodies the same "I AM" presence of God seen in Old Testament times.Sermon Notes:I Am Who I AM:     I have Seen:     I have Heard:     I Know:     I have Come:Before Abraham I AM:     The Bread of Life (John 6:35)     The Light of the World (John 8:12)     The Door (John 10:7)     The Resurrection and the Life (John 11:25)     The Good Shepard (John 10:11-15)     The Way, Truth and Life (John 14:6)     The True Vine (John 15:1-5)Jesus is I AM in our lives today!
