I am a Jesus pusher!!! There are many great “I am” statements of Jesus. Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth and the life,” (John 14:6). Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM,” (John 8:58). Jesus said, “I am the bread of life,” (John 6:48). Jesus said to them, “I am the good shepherd,” (John 10:11). He also said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep,” (John 10:7). In each of these statements, Jesus is stating who He is. But notice, it is a statement of who He is in connection with us. He is only the door of the sheep because we are His sheep. He is the way because I desperately need direction for my life. He is the truth because I am lost in confusion. He is the great I AM because there is no eternal life for me without Him. The fact of these various needs is my life does not create or cause them in Him. He is these things without me and before me. The fact I need eternal life does not make Him the great I AM. He is the great I AM who created me in His image. Therefore, because of who He is, I can become. He is the way whether I exist or not. However, I was created by Him in His likeness; therefore, He is my way.
God has a plan; it is Jesus. Everything that makes me the complete person I was created to be is found in Jesus. Therefore, Jesus is the plan for my life. Outside of Him there is nothing but chaos, destruction, and dismay. He is where I belong. I live in Him, the plan of God. I am a Jesus pusher!!!
