| | | Jesus' "I am" Statements
Are there any good WEBSITES on the study of the I am Statements of Jesus?
And are there only seven of them?

There are 7 in the book of John.
"I am the bread of life" 6:35, 41, 51
"I am the light of the world" 8:12, 9:5
"I am the door of the sheep" 10:7, 9
"I am the good shepherd" 10:11, 14
"I am the resurrection and the life" 11:25
"I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life" 14:6
"I am the vine" 15:1, 5
You could add this one: "I am the Son of God" 10:36, but this one is not commonly included.

Do you also think that "Before Abraham was, I am" is significant to these statements?

Hello everyone, this is my first post here. I was referred here by gwine. I was reading posts and had to comment on this one, so I joined.
Another significant occurrence was in the Garden of Gethsemane: John 18:4-6 Quote:
4 So Jesus, knowing all the things that were coming upon Him, went forth and said to them, "Whom do you seek?"
5 They answered Him, "Jesus the Nazarene." He said to them, "I am He." And Judas also, who was betraying Him, was standing with them.
6 So when He said to them, "I am He," they drew back and fell to the ground.
| Of course "He" is added by the translators to "help out".

Its a use of this:
Exodus 3:14 And God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM." And He said, "Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, 'I AM has sent me to you.' "
