At our Sunday School class last week, we looked at the topic "Jesus is the Great I Am". "Jesus claims to be the eternal God."

God calls Himself "I AM WHOM I AM" (Exodus 3:14) when He was talking to Moses in the burning bush. Jesus was recorded as claiming to be, "I AM".

Here are several claims while Jesus walked this earth:

"I am the bread of life."
(John 6:35)

*
"I am the light of the world."
(John 8:12)

*
"I am the door of the sheep."
(John 10:7)

*
"I am the good shepherd."
(John 10:11)

* 
"I am the resurrection and the life."
(John 11:25)

*
"I am the way, and the truth, and the life."
(John 14:6)

*
"I am the true vine."
(John 15:1, 15:5)

**

In the writing it suggested that sometimes in our prayers, we could thank God for being some of those things. (i.e. "thank You that You are the light of the world"; "thank You that You are our good shepherd!"
