Jesus's Divine "I AM"
When Jesus says to believe that "I am," He is making a profound claim. Multiple commentators explain that the original Greek, "ego eimi," intentionally echoes God's divine name, "I AM," from the Old Testament. This is not just a claim to be the Messiah, but a declaration of His divine nature. Believing in Jesus means accepting His full identity as God.
