We look at the last I AM statements that Jesus made, starting with “I am the true vine.” With this final analogy, Jesus makes two distinct declarations. First, He is the only source of salvation, and second, He is the only means by which we can produce spiritual fruit. If we are not connected intimately with Jesus, we have no assurance of our salvation or any ability to grow as believers. But if we abide in Christ, we can have both assurance and growth. 

Series Overview

Throughout the book of John, Jesus makes seven “I AM” statements. Seven times, He compares himself to some object or reality so that we can begin to understand the vastness of His person and character. At our candlelight service this past Christmas, we examined the statement, “I am the light of the world.” Throughout this series, we will study the remaining six statements so that we can gain a better understanding of exactly who our savior is.
