Always good to be reminded of these truths!
It was brought to my attention not long ago, and I don’t know why I never connected it. But I AM is the name God gave Moses to tell the people His name. I AM. Then Jesus comes and states all these I AMs. It was like a light went on that thrilled my soul. Proof positive that Jesus was the Son of God. If you need the proof. 🙂
So true, Mandy! God is I AM, and Jesus is I AM.
Oh Lisa, I really enjoyed all these “I AM” statements and truths about the Lord. It’s both comforting and shouting material when reading through.
I’m so glad you were encouraged, Karen!
I often have to check myself and remember that Jesus is the VINE–I’m just a branch. I don’t have to give life/direction/nourishment to my people. I can only encourage them to find the Vine.
So true, Anita, He alone is the Vine!
Lisa,
These are some of the most powerful scriptures included in the Bible. Thanks for sharing them!
