Seven "I AM's" in John

Last week at Bible Study, one of the ladies mentioned there are seven "I AM" statements recorded in the book of John.

Seven times Jesus specifically declares who he is.
John 6:35 - I am the bread of life
John 8:12, 9:5 - I am the light of the world
John 10:7,9 - I am the gate for the sheep
John 10:11,14 - I am the good shepherd
John 11:25 - I am the resurrection and the life
John 14:6 - I am the way, the truth, and the life
John 15:1, 5 - I am the true vine
I am encouraged and challenged to remember who Jesus is and how he wants to reveal himself in my life.
