Recorded in the Gospel of John, our Lord made seven statements referring to Himself as I AM<\/em><\/strong>\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

I AM<\/strong> The Light of the World
\nI AM<\/strong> The Bread of Life
\nI AM<\/strong> The Door <\/em><\/span>
\nI AM<\/strong> The Good Shepherd
\nI AM<\/strong> The True Vine <\/em><\/span>
\nI AM<\/strong> The Way, The Truth, and The Life<\/em><\/span>
\nI AM<\/strong> The Resurrection and The Life<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Each week during this season of Lent, here on the Seeking Him<\/em> blog, we will be focusing our devotionals on a different aspect of Jesus\u2019 revelation of Himself as I AM<\/span><\/em>.\u00a0 The aim of Lent should be to prepare our hearts for the remembrance of Jesus\u2019 sacrifice\u2014His trial and torture, the Crucifixion and His death\u2026and above all, the celebration of His Resurrection from the dead. \u00a0We pray that this will be a great encouragement to each of you who read them. \u00a0And that all of us will consider the significance of Jesus\u2019 words and, through them, be helped as we remember and are thankful for all Jesus went through during the last few weeks of His life on this earth.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

So Jesus said again, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you,
\nthat I Myself am the Door<\/strong> for the sheep.
\n<\/span>All others who came [as such] before Me are thieves and robbers,
\nbut the [true] sheep did not listen to and\u00a0<\/i>obey them.
\n<\/span>I AM the Door<\/strong>; anyone who enters in through Me will be saved (will live).
\nHe will come in and he will go out [freely], and will find pasture.
\n<\/span>The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy.
\nI came that they may have <\/span>and<\/i> enjoy life,
\nand have it in abundance (to the full, till itoverflows).<\/span><\/p>\n
