This Good Friday, I encourage you to meditate on Jesus' I AM statements in the book of John.
By doing so, you can reflect on all he is to you, and what he freely gave so you can live forever with him.
Look them up in context within your own Bible. This will enhance your understanding of his I AM statements, and you'll gain greater insight.
Here are ten of these statements, pulled from the New Living Translation. Read them slowly and consider how they apply to your own life.
