The I am statements

The "I am" statements of Jesus are all found in the book of John and carry such depth. It's great to read them in context, but they can also just be delved into on their own. I'll post the ideas I had with them and maybe even the song I made up. I have found songs as a great way to learn things, so I've made songs to sing with the kids for the fruit of the spirit and for the I am statements. They are so easy to remember that way and when we sing them, they help us to refocus on the important things. This week we will do the last I am statement and move on to something else- I'm not sure what yet.

I am the bread of life. (John 6:35)
I am the light of the world. (John 8:12)
I am the gate. (John 10:7)
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 vine, you are the branches. (John 15:5)

We also made a poster where we can see pictures of each statement. A friend gave me this hint for helping them recall scriptures, since they can't read yet, pictures are great cues.
