Episode 29: Overview of the I Am Statements

This episode sets the stage for the journey ahead, where we’ll walk through the seven “I am” statements one by one. Today, we lay the foundation for our new series on the “I am” statements in the Gospel of John. When Jesus says ἐγώ εἰμι, “I am”, He’s doing more than speaking casually; He’s stepping into the very language God uses to reveal Himself in the Old Testament. We explore the deep roots of this phrase in Exodus 3:14 and trace how this divine name develops through the Hebrew Scriptures, the Greek Septuagint, and into John’s Gospel.
