Evening: Psalms 114, 115; John 8:47-59
Names are powerful … When you know someone’s name and call it out, they stop and turn around. Author Fred Buechner says that since God told Moses, “I AM who I AM”, God hasn’t had a moment’s peace! To those who questioned the validity of Jesus’ words, he said: “Before Abraham was, I AM”. This caused an uproar, because every devout Jew knew he was claiming God’s name. Many have come to believe, though, that Jesus is indeed the human face of God … Perhaps Jesus hasn’t had a moment’s peace since then, either! Instead, he offers Peace to us.
