God Says His Name Is "I am" Jesus also is "I am"

What does God state to Moses that God’s Name is?

EXODUS: 3: 13-15:

"And Moses said unto God, Behold when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, what is his name? what shall I say unto them? And God said unto Moses, "I am that I am" and he said, thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, "I am " hath sent me unto you. And God said, moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, "The Lord God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations."

When Moses finally went down from the mountain and returned to the children of Israel, the name "I am" became the name of God to all the children of Israel.

When Moses returns to the camp after receiving the "Ten Commandments of God" God Himself addresses the people: EXODUS: 20: 1-2 " And God spake all of these words saying, I am the Lord Your God which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage."

The name of God, "I am" is burned into the minds of all the people.

It is no coincidence then, that in the Gospel of JOHN, Jesus, when addressing His disciples and His followers, refers to Himself ten times in this way.

"I am the good shepherd" "I am the resurrection" "I am the way" "I am the door of the sheep" "I am the vine" "I am from above." "I am not of this world" "I am the son of God." "I am the living bread" "I am come a light into the world".

Jesus realzed that the moment the people heard this name spoken, even 4,000 years after Moses heard them, the people would recognize the name and would give him attention, recognizing the name of God was being spoken to them.
