I AM: Jesus in His Own Words

DAY 6 OF 7

 I AM…The Way, the Truth, and the Life

The sixth and seventh of the seven self-descriptions, though in separate chapters, occur within the section of John called the “Upper Room Discourse,” the last time Jesus would address his disciples before his crucifixion. This passage is wrought with anxiety—Jesus has just told them that he was leaving to go be with his Father. Jesus’ statement that they already know the way to get back to him provokes Thomas’ heart-wrenching outcry that, no, they did not know the way. Jesus’ statement—while beautiful and ringing with theological truth—is primarily meant to address deep anxiety. “Do not let your heart be troubled” (verse 1) … “I am the way” (verse 6).

About this Plan

I AM: Jesus in His Own Words

Who did Jesus say he was? Seven times in the Gospel of John, Jesus declares “I AM,” and tells us his true identity. I AM…the bread of life…the light of the world…the gate for the sheep…the good shepherd…the resurrection and the life…the way, the truth and the life…the true vine.
