Jesus Says, ‘I AM’ John 8:48-59 Jesus is maligned by the self-righteous – who refuse to see Him for who He is. 1. They call Jesus a Samaritan – but His Word gives eternal life. (John 8:48-51) 2. They accuse Jesus of having a demon – but Abraham rejoiced to see His Day. (John 8:52-56) 3. They charge Jesus with blasphemy – but He says, “I AM.” (John 8:57-59)
