More than a dozen times in the New Testament Chapter of John,  Jesus makes the statement, “I am.”  Jesus asserts He is – the light of the world, the bread of life, the good shepherd, the resurrection and the life, the way, the truth and the life, and so forth.  But also in John 8:58 He states, “Before Abraham was born, I am.”   In other words, Jesus is telling us, “I’ve always been.”  This timelessness of existence then shows – all these declarations Jesus made to us in John were in place long before the beginning of time…And that each assertion is as enduring as He is.
