Methphorical Statements of Jesus

Jesus Christ's seven unique "I am" metaphorical statements about himself in the Gospel of John have corresponding details in the circumstances of his birth, and corresponding "signs" (miracles).

There are eight such statements if "I am" with no metaphorical object is included.

Seven "I am" metaphorical statements of Jesus Christ in the Gospel of John:

  1. "I am the bread of life." John 6:35, 41, 48-51
  2. "I am the light of the world." John 8:12, 9:5
  3. "I am the door of the sheep." John 10:7, 9
  4. "I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep." John 10:11, 14
  5. "I am the resurrection, and the life." John 11:25
  6. "I am the way, the truth, and the life." John 14:6
  7. "I am the true vine." John 15:1, 5

Eighth "I am" statement of Jesus if "I am" with no object is included:

It is I; be not afraid [In Greek, same as "I am; be not afraid"].John 6:16-21

Details in the circumstances of Jesus Christ's birth which correspond to the seven "I am"

  1.  I was born in Bethlehem, which means "house of bread.” Luke 2:4-6
  2. He was born under the light of the Star of Bethlehem. Matthew 2:1-12
  3. He was unable to enter the inn, but able to enter a stable. Luke 2:7
  4. He was sought by shepherds who were looking for a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes [sometimes used for burial], and lying in a manger. Luke 2:8-20
  5. He survived King Herod's attempt to kill him. Matthew 2:13-16
  6. Wise men supernaturally found their way to him, supernaturally knew the truth about him, and supernaturally survived King Herod's evil plot even though they defied him. Matthew 2:1-12
  7. He was born in Bethlehem Ephrathah, which means "fruitful." Micah 5:2, Matthew 2:5, 6

Eighth detail in the circumstances of Jesus' birth if "I am" with no object is included:

The angels announced "Fear not, for unto you is born this day, in the city of David, a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord". Luke 2:10-11
