I Am: Statements of Our Savior Legacy Book | He Reads Truth

 “But you,” he asked them, “who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” —Matthew 16:15–16 I am the good shepherd. I am the way, the truth, and the life. I am the true vine. In these statements and others, Jesus reveals Himself as the long-expected Messiah, connecting Himself to the provision and promises of God in the Old Testament. Each “I am” is an echo of God’s self-disclosure to Moses from the burning bush. On the lips of Jesus, they are statements of His divinity—ones that shocked the crowds, enraged the religious leaders who opposed Him, and prompted His disciples to bow down in worship.
