The seven "I am" statements we find in the gospel of John give us such insight and understanding of the heart and character of Jesus. These statements draw us to a personal understanding of who Jesus is and what his mission was. As we study these seven statements, we are brought into a closer relationship with our savior. We understand why we need him, why we worship him, and why he calls us friends.
