Iam: jesus in his own word

In the Gospel of John, we discover that Jesus identifies himself with the God of the Old Testament who revealed to Moses regarding his identity “I AM WHO I AM”. In John 1:14 we read “So the Word became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only Son.” While existing and fully divine, Jesus descended from the heavens and entered this physical world as a human being. And in John 8:58 Jesus declares '… I tell you the truth, before Abraham was even born, I AM!’. Metaphorically, Jesus states 7 “I AM” statements about himself in the Gospel of John and it is clear that Jesus is claiming to be the eternal God incarnate which he affirms with his actions.
