Additional note: Egō eimi

Jesus uses the egō eimi formula in three different ways in the Fourth Gospel: (1) With a predicate: ‘I am the bread of life’ (6:35, 41, 48, 51), ‘I am the light of the world’ (8:12), ‘I am the gate for the sheep’ (10:7, 9), ‘I am the good shepherd’ (10:11, 14), ‘I am the resurrection and the life’ (11:25), ‘I am the way and the truth and the life’ (14:6), and ‘I am the true vine’ (15:1, 5).

(2) With an implied predicate: ‘I am [he]’, ‘I am [the one]’ indicating he is the Messiah (4:26; 8:24, 28; 13:19), and ‘It is [I]’ and ‘I am [he]’ simply to identify himself (6:20; 18:8, and possibly 18:5, 6, 8), as did the man born blind (9:9).

(3) As an absolute, possibly in 8:24, 28; 18:5–6, and certainly in 8:58: ‘before Abraham was born, I am!’

The last of these uses needs further comment, for in this case egō eimi represents the divine name.

In Exodus 3:14 God says to Moses, ‘I AM WHO I AM.

This is what you are to say to the Israelites: “I AM has sent me to you.” ’ The ‘I AM WHO I AM’ is translated as egō eimi ho ōn in the LXX.

In Isaiah 43:25; 51:12 egō eimi on its own functions as the divine name.

Thus when Jesus said to ‘the Jews’, ‘before Abraham was born, I am’, he was identifying himself with God.

He was not only pronouncing the name of God, which Jews normally did not dare to utter, but, even worse, he was claiming to be God.

KEY VERSES

Romans 1:4; 1 Corinthians 15:42

The Bible records that several people were raised from the dead.

Elijah raised a widow’s son from the dead, another widow’s son was raised by Jesus, and Lazarus was also raised by Jesus.

However, their revitalization (or resuscitation) is absolutely not the same as Christ’s “resurrection,” which is anastasis in Greek.

They arose only to die again; He arose to live forever.

They arose still doomed by corruptibility; He arose incorruptible.

They arose with no change to their constitution; He arose in a significantly different form.

When Jesus arose from the dead, He was glorified, transfigured, and became life-giving spirit.

All three happened simultaneously.

When He was resurrected, He was glorified (Luke 24:26).

At the same time, His body was transfigured into a glorious one (Phil.

3:21) and became a life-giving spirit (1 Cor.

15:45).

Prior to the Lord’s crucifixion and resurrection He declared, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

‘Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit’ ” (John 12:23–24).

This declaration provides the best picture of resurrection.

Paul also used this illustration.

He likened the glory of Christ’s resurrection to a grain being sown in death, then coming forth in life.

Actually, Paul used this illustration when answering two questions the Corinthians posed about resurrection: (1) How are the dead raised?

and (2) With what sort of body do they come?

(1 Cor.

15:35).

To the first question Paul responded, “Foolish man, what you sow is not made alive unless it dies” (1 Cor.

15:36).

This follows perfectly the Lord’s saying in John 12:24, and the two mutually explain each other.

The grain must die before it can be quickened.

Paul devotes more explanation to the second question; and the Spirit inspired him to unfold this mystery.

Using the same natural example of the grain of wheat, Paul revealed that the body that comes forth in resurrection is altogether different in form from that which had been sown.

Through an organic process, the single, bare grain is transformed into a stalk of wheat.

In essence, the grain and the stalk are one and the same—the latter simply being the living growth and expressed expansion of the former.

In short, the stalk is the glory of the grain or the glorified grain.

This illustration shows that Jesus’ resurrected body was altogether different from the one that was buried.

In death, He had been sown in corruption, dishonor, and weakness; but in resurrection, He came forth perfect, in glory and power.

The natural body that Jesus possessed as a man became a spiritual body.
