Which of the following is NOT one of Jesus' "I AM" statements?

• A. I am the good shepherd
• B. I am the comforter
• C. I am the resurrection and the life
• D. I am the light of the world

Answer: (B)

The statement "I am the comforter" does not appear in the teachings of Jesus as one of His "I AM" statements. Jesus' "I AM" declarations, found primarily in the Gospel of John, include powerful metaphors that convey His divine nature and mission. For example, “I am the good shepherd” signifies His care and guidance, “I am the resurrection and the life” emphasizes His authority over life and death, and “I am the light of the world” illustrates His role in bringing spiritual enlightenment.

The term "comforter," while often associated with the Holy Spirit's role in comforting believers, is not directly referred to as one of Jesus' self-identifications within the "I AM" statements. Therefore, the identification of "I'm the comforter" as absent from these statements is what makes it the correct choice in this context.
