Here are the explanations on sayings of Jesus with the Eastern perspective using the Ancient Wisdom as guide...
When reading the Bible and seeing "I am", referring to Jesus, it is helpful to mentally substitute "The Christ Principle", and think in Universal concepts rather than a person.

Mt. (4. 1.) “Then Jesus was led by the spirit into the desert, to be tempted by the devil.

Mt. (4. 2.) And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he was hungry

Mt. (4. 3.) And the tempter coming said to him: If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.

Mt. (4. 4.) Jesus answered and said: It is written, not in bread alone doth man live, but in every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God.”

"Word of God" in this sense symbolically refers to the Wisdom (God's Consciousness) and Spirituality that man needs to live as much as one needs water and food to stay alive. God's Consciousness affords men life beyond death, not in body but in spirit.
Bliss and Myth are needed to make life worthwhile. The secret is Mind-heart link and Love.
The word of God is the understanding man's divinity and his potential to defeat death and gain immortality.
The test in material life is to learn to live in the physical world without losing the Awe and Bliss that Myths gave us.
