AND JESUS SAID; HE WHO HAS SEEN ME HAS SEEN THE FATHER.

( JOHN 14:9 *NKJV )





Names that Jesus used to refer to Himself in the Gospel Of John.

"SON OF MAN" JOHN 6:27

This was Jesus' favorite reference to himself. It emphasized His humanity, but the way He used it, it was a claim to divinity as well!

"I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE" JOHN 6:35

Refers to His life-giving role. That He is the only way to our Eternal life.

"I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD" JOHN 8:12

The sun is the physical light of the World, and Jesus is the Spiritual light of the World. As the light of the world, Jesus exposes sin and gives sight.

"I AM THE DOOR FOR THE SHEEP" JOHN 10:7

Jesus is the only way into God's Kingdom.

"I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD" JOHN 10:11

With this name Jesus appropriated the prophetic images of the Messiah pictured in the Old Testament. This is a claim to divinity, focusing on Jesus' love and guidance.

"I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE" JOHN 11:25

Not only is Jesus the source of life, He is also the power over death!

"I AM THE WAY AND THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE" JOHN 14:6

Jesus is the method, the message, and the meaning for all people. With this title He summarized His purpose in coming to earth.

"I AM THE VINE" JOHN 15:1

This title has an important second part, "YOU ARE THE BRANCHES." As in so many of His other names, Jesus reminds us that just as branches gain life from the vine and cannot live apart from it, we also are dependent on Jesus for eternal life!
