John 10:1-10
Are you an anxious person? You may feel like that woman who was always long-faced and seemed to have a dark cloud on her face when a friend asked her, ''Aren't you feeling good today?''

What shall I say to them? And God said to Moses, I AM WHO I AM.' And He said, ''Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, 'I AM has sent me to you.''
Seven times in John's gospel, Jesus uses that I AM name and each time He is declaring His deity!
We hear Jesus say in John 6:48, 'I AM the Bread of Life,'' which speaks of His PROVISON.
Jesus says in John 8.12, ''I AM the light of the world,'' which speaks of His PATHWAY.
Later in John 8 we hear Jesus say in verse 48, ''Most assuredly, I say to you, 'before Abraham was, I AM,'' which speaks of His
PRE-INCARNATION. ''Pre'' speaks of ''before.'' ''Incarnation'' speaks of ...
