In verses John 6:35, 6:41, 6:48, and 6:51we find Jesus using the words "I AM, "I am the bread of life" to make it very clear to the Jews who "He" was. Bread was a main staple of food at that time, so it was a necessity. If we are going to be followers of Jesus it is necessary that we make "Him" first in our lives. Verse 8:12 says "I AM" the light of the world. This highlights Jesus' role as Messiah and Son of God. It is necessary that we believe Jesus' role as the Son of God if we are going to have salvation. It is very easy to say these words but difficult to make it apparent in our lives.
John 10:11-14 is the 4th of 7 "I AM" statements of Jesus. He says, "I am the good shepherd". He is saying he not only cares for you in the good times, but in troubled times as well. He loves you enough to give His life for you. A good shepherd gives life for his sheep.
Jesus is the only way to salvation. He came as a man to bring life and light to those who would believe in Him. As a Christian we are to seek the lost.
