God's I AM WHO AM and Jesus' I Am statements
God describes Himself as the creator and plainly states that everything is His.

11 I owe no one anything. Everything under the heaven is mine. NLT

He also describes Himself to Moses in Exodus 3:13-14.

13 But Moses protested, “If I go to the people of Israel and tell them, ‘The God of your ancestors has sent me to you,’ they will ask me, ‘What is his name?’ Then what should I tell them?”

14 God replied to Moses, “I am who i am.[d] Say this to the people of Israel: I am has sent me to you.” 15 God also said to Moses, “Say this to the people of Israel: Yahweh,[e] the God of your ancestors—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you.

This is my eternal name,
my name to remember for all generations.NLT


Jesus describes Himself using I AM statements. They are:

"I AM the bread of life." John 6:35, 48

"I AM the light of the world." John 8:12, 9:5

"Before Abraham was, I AM." John 8:58

"I AM the door." John 10:9

" I AM the good shepherd." John 10:11

"I AM the resurrection and the life." John 11:25

"I AM the way, the truth, and the life." John 14:6

"I AM the true vine." John 15:1

How do the descriptions God gives of himself fit with what Jesus stated about Who He is?
