We explore the seven “I Am” statements in John to show how Jesus reveals his identity and meets our deepest needs with clarity, care, and power. From hunger to hope, darkness to direction, despair to resurrection, each image invites a personal response.

• the divine echo of “I Am” from Exodus
• bread of life and the end of restless hunger
• light of the world and guidance through confusion
• the gate as safety and access to God
• the good shepherd who knows and lays down his life
• resurrection and the life amid grief and fear
• way, truth, and life as a relational path
• true vine and the call to abide for lasting fruit
• practical reflection on which truth you need now
