I AM WHO I AM: Discovering the Divinity of Jesus Christ Through the Gospel of John

Who is Jesus Christ?

The Gospel of John answers this question with a carefully constructed theological case: Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, the eternal Word who became flesh.

In I AM WHO I AM, Bruce H. Becker examines John's Gospel through its central testimony about the identity and divinity of Jesus Christ. Beginning with John 1:1-"In the beginning was the Word"-the book traces John's presentation of Jesus from His eternal existence and incarnation to His death and resurrection.

At the heart of the study are the seven miraculous signs recorded by John, including the turning of water into wine, the feeding of the five thousand, the healing of the man born blind, and the raising of Lazarus. These signs reveal Jesus' authority over creation, sickness, nature, blindness, and death.

The book then examines the seven "I AM" statements-Bread of Life, Light of the World, Door, Good Shepherd, Resurrection and Life, Way, Truth and Life, and True Vine. Together, these declarations illuminate both Jesus' divine identity and His relationship to those who believe in Him.

Becker also explores the significance of God's declaration "I AM WHO I AM" in Exodus 3:14, Jesus' claims about His relationship with the Father, the testimony of John the Baptist, the Samaritan woman, Martha, Thomas, and others, and the growing opposition that ultimately led to the cross.

Written for serious students of Scripture, Bible teachers, pastors, and readers seeking a deeper understanding of Christology, this book invites the reader to examine the evidence presented by John's Gospel and confront its central question:

Who is Jesus Christ?

The conclusion of John's testimony is clear: Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God-and believing in Him brings life in His name.
