I decided to post this from the Scriptures where Christ mentioned I AM:
"Your father Abraham was very happy that he would see the day when I came. He saw that day and was happy." The Jews said to Jesus, "What? You have never seen Abraham ! You are not even 50 years old!" Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth. Before Abraham was born, I AM. " When Jesus said this, the people picked up rocks to throw at him.
John 8:56-59"
I have read many Bahai texts in the past, but I just ran across this where I AM is mentioned. I thought it was amazing. Anyway, I am not a Bahai, but I like the Writings:
"Ya Baha’u’l-Abhá
In that cry are all the cries of the universe and of the chord of divine
reality struck. The shout “Ya Baha’u’l-Abha!” in this day of its birth
is more profit unto thee than all knowledge of the sciences and all the
wealth of the earth. It is the rhythm of progress, the chord of
creation, the melody of eternity, and the password to the Kingdom of
God. Therefore, use it to establish thyself in the realm of divine
trust. Speak it in thy solitude, cry it in thy joy, murmur it in thy
grief and chant it in thy weakest moments, and it will give thee
strength. It is that cry that brings the Supreme Concourse to the door
of thy life and stations the love of Abha above the soul of trust. It
opens the heavens of mysteries, colours and riddles of life. It absorbs
all, encircles all, includes all. The words of that phrase “Glory to
God” is to sing in harmony to the Supreme Concourse of songs and to
harmonize with the holy I AM in His court of divine omnipotent truth.
It holds all there is of substance and all there is in the world of
creative thought. The Greatest Name carries the highest vibration; the
vibration produces a spiritual word; the vibration of utterance, either
mental or oral, produces a spiritual result, regardless of the thought.
‘Abdu’l-Bahá"
