St. John's gospel offers seven metaphors about Christ. He is the bread of life, the light of the world, the good shepherd, the door, the way, the truth, and the vine, a universal symbol of nourishment. He also promises everlasting life for the faithful.
Who is Jesus Christ? These fourteen chapters answer that question in his own words: I AM the light of the world... I AM the way, the truth and the life... I AM the Good Shepherd... I AM the alpha and the omega... Why a book on the I AM sayings of Jesus? Because so much of our religious emphasis today focuses on "feeling more fulfilled..." or "improving our relationships with others." While these are important and have their place in our discussions, this book puts the emphasis on the place of God in our lives. The questions are practical: What shall I believe? What shall I do? And so Lavin writes for the people in the pews as well as for their pastors. When Ron Lavin preaches it is close to the ground, relevant for the right now, absent of high-sounding theological verbiage, and reveals a big pastor's heart. Read the book for exhilarating ideas for your own preaching, digest the book one chapter at a time to gain a better understanding of what it means to be a follower of Christ in these turbulent, fast changing '90s. Prepare To Be Impressed. Jerry L. Schmalenberger, President Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary Ronald J. Lavin is senior pastor of King of Glory Lutheran Church in Fountain Valley, California: He is an active, dynamic preacher and public speaker, conducting workshops and seminars in the areas of church growth and small group development throughout the western United States. He has served on boards of directors for LCA and ELCA national committees and seminaries. He is well-known for pastoring two congregations that have increased between 1,000 and 2,000 in membership during his tenure. He is the author of ten books (seven published by CSS) and numerous articles.
‘i Am’ ‘The Church’ of the Great “I Am” by Dr. Jim McClinton Pdf
Do you believe that the essence of our Salvation is Spiritual Maturity? We are spiritually mature when we “grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 3:18, KJV). Do you know that wisdom and knowledge are related but not synonymous? Wisdom is “the ability to discern or judge what is true, right, or lasting” (The Gospel); Knowledge, is “information gained through experience, reasoning, or acquaintance.” No one (none of us) is born wise; we must acquire and can only acquire wisdom from God. The Bible urges us often to seek wisdom above all things; “The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom, and whatever you get, get insight” (Proverbs 4:7, ESV). Knowledge can exist without wisdom, but wisdom cannot exist with knowledge. One can be knowledgeable without being wise. Knowledge is when you know you should hear the word and the importance of it; Wisdom is hearing and knowing how and when to use it (Word) and how to live it. In order for us to obey Him and be in obedience, God wants us to have knowledge of Him and His commands, as of His word. Our knowledge begins when we fear God. If we lack or despise wisdom, we are foolish and not knowledgeable. Wisdom is a gift from God. Scriptures tell us, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him” James 1:5 (ESV). Just knowing the Bible and facts about God is not all there is to wisdom. God blesses us with wisdom; for us to use the knowledge we have of Him, in order for us to glorify Him. “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction” (Proverbs 1:7, KJV). In our Spiritual Maturity, let us fear God; and let us not be foolish but wise and knowable, pleasing God. This book, teaches us; giving one an understanding and affords us the opportunity to be blessed and favored with wisdom. It expresses and confirms who we are in Christ Jesus. ‘I Am’ ‘The Church’ Of The Great “I AM”. To God be the Glory!!!

"Jesus said to them, 'Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM." (John 8:58) Jesus Christ was not shy about who He was: He didn't hide His identity. He brought it out in the open, for all to see. However, too many people didn't want to see who Him for who He was. That can be said for our day and age as well. Jesus is hiding in plain sight. Anyone can get to know Him. All they have to do is open the pages of the Bible and He is there, ready to be discovered. God is calling His church to look at Jesus once again. He wants us to go back and re-read who Jesus said He was in the word and in our world. The book of John is our starting point in gaining a distinct, specific view of who Jesus said He was in the seven places he called himself "I AM." When John recorded Jesus' statements, he was giving us a beautiful revelation of Jesus Christ and delivering a shock to the religious world. That shock can still be felt today.

Quickly, Judy came to find out that the Holy Spirit has a lot to offer.

The Great AMEN of the Great I-AM by John E. McKenna Pdf
The author would take his readers on a ride from the Self-Revelation of the I-AM that the Lord God is with Moses, through King David, to the I-AM of the Messiah of Israel and of the Incarnation, and to the I-AM of the Dogma of the Church as the People of God. It is argued that the Grace and Truth of the Lord God cannot rightly be grasped in all of their depth in the world without becoming able to integrate both the continuity and the discontinuities of this Revelation with us, even in our own times.

Jesus in the Present Tense by Warren W. Wiersbe Pdf
In Jesus in the Present Tense, Dr. Warren W. Wiersbe explores the “I AM” statements of God—from His burning bush conversation with Moses, to His powerful reassurances to the Israelites, to Jesus’s startling claim to be the Light of the World. Many Christians find themselves mired in past regrets or future fears, but the name of God itself reminds readers that God wants them to live in the present. The more readers understand and apply God’s I AM statements from the Old and New Testaments, the more they will realize God’s peace and joy. Then they will be free to live, serve, and know God more richly in the present tense—which is just where He wants them to be.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon (183492) was an heir of the Puritans. As a beneficiary of the Puritan tradition of preachingthe last of the PuritansSpurgeon set a high standard for preaching from the sacred scriptures by focusing on a specific text for the congregation to understand; he would explain the main words and parts of the text, persuasively proclaiming the gospel message of the text. Portraits of the Great I AM provides a window into the practical applications and principles Spurgeon applied in his seven great I AM sermons based on the gospel of John. According to Spurgeon, believers who dwell on Christthe Great I AMwill obtain the best apprehensions of the Father through the Son. Jesus said (to Philip): He who has seen Me has seen the Father (John 14:9 NKJV). Author and historian Ernest LeVos has carefully edited and presented Spurgeons seven portraits of Christwho said I am the bread of life, the light of the world, the door, the good shepherd, the resurrection, the way, truth, and life, and the vineand these portraits can be used as a devotional for morning and evening personal worship. Spurgeons seven great I AM sermons can help believers be blessed, and they can offer a time for reflection and meditation on the life and the walk of faith. Rejoice that the Father gave us the inspired scriptures to read about and consider, by faith, Gods beloved Son.
