"I Am"

There are seven "I am" statements of Jesus recorded in John's Gospel. This phrase has special weight since God's personal name in the Old Testament, YHWH, may be translated as "I am." The piece shown below has as its background passages from the Gospel of John with seven imbedded wooden balls painted in symbols reminiscent of the seven statements.
