And Jesus said; He who has seen Me has seen the Father. ( John 14:9 *NKJV )

Jesus Christ called Himself many different names in the Gospels.
The names He used, pointed to special roles He was ready to
fulfill for people. Some of the names refer back to the Old
Testament promises of the predicted Messiah. Others were ways
to help people understand Him. Lets take a look at the
Names that Jesus used to refer to Himself in the Gospel Of John.

"SON OF MAN" JOHN 6:27
This was Jesus' favorite reference to himself. It emphasized
His humanity, but the way He used it, it was a claim to divinity
as well!
"I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE" JOHN 6:35
Refers to His life-giving role. That He is the only way to our
Eternal life.
"I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD" JOHN 8:12
The sun is the physical light of the World, and Jesus is the
Spiritual light of the World. As the light of the world, Jesus
exposes sin and gives sight.
"I AM THE DOOR FOR THE SHEEP" JOHN 10:7
Jesus is the only way into God's Kingdom.
"I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD" JOHN 10:11
With this name Jesus appropriated the prophetic images of the
Messiah pictured in the Old Testament. This is a claim to
divinity, focusing on Jesus' love and guidance.
"I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE"
JOHN 11:25
Not only is Jesus the source of life, He is also the power over
death!
"I AM THE WAY AND THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE"
JOHN 14:6
Jesus is the method, the message, and the meaning for all
people. With this title He summarized His purpose in coming
to earth.
"I AM THE VINE" JOHN 15:1
This title has an important second part, "YOU ARE THE
BRANCHES." As in so many of His other names, Jesus reminds
us that just as branches gain life from the vine and cannot live
apart from it, we also are dependent on Jesus for eternal life!

Note the seven names with "I AM" listed here. God had revealed
Himself to Moses with a resounding "I AM" [ EXODUS 3:14 ]
Now Jesus was using the same words to describe Himself!
