the bread of life - i will provide for you
the light of the world - I will bring light to you
the gate - I will open opportunities for you  - a way through to safety and my presence

the resurrection and life - I have overcome death and I do bring life
the way, the truth and the life - and the truth will set you free
the true vine - I will cause you to be fruitful
