Second Baptist Church - Houston, TX | The gospel of John features 7 "I Am" statements of Jesus, and in each one, Jesus claims to be God. In his statement, "I am the light of the world," Jesus connects himself to God's manifest presence, which led and guided the Israelites through the wilderness for 40 years.
