How many 'I am' statements are there in the Gospel of John?
John's Gospel contains seven 'I Am' statements. The transcript identifies examples at John 6:35, 8:12, 10:7, 11:25, and 15, then notes Revelation 22 contains an eighth 'I Am,' the bright and morning star. Not all seven are listed in the provided excerpt.
Les teaches that John's Gospel contains seven 'I Am' statements. In the transcript he identifies John 6:35, 'I am the bread of life'; John 8:12, 'I am the light of the world'; John 10:7, 'I am the door of the sheep'; John 11:25, 'I am the resurrection and the life'; and John 15, 'I am the true vine.' He then says, 'Now that's seven I Am's in John's Gospel.' He contrasts that with Revelation 22, where he counts an eighth 'I Am'—'I am the bright and morning star'—connected with new beginnings and the coming eternal day: 'Night is past, eternal day is coming.'
