Evening: Psalm 145; John 8:46-59
Fred Buechner writes that since God told Moses her name, she hasn’t had a moments peace since! Well, Buechner actually used a male pronoun for God. But, more importantly, the name God gave to Moses was “I am”. When Jesus was confronted by the religious leaders about his authority, he said, “Before Abraham was, I am.” With this simple phrase, Jesus is identified as God in human flesh, God alongside us. That is the essence of the Christian Good News ... that the eternal God, the Creator of all things, is not distant from us, but close at hand.
