Evening: Psalm 119:25-48; John 8:47-59
Among the most significant words in the New Testament are the two little words, “I am”. On Jesus’s lips, they constitute the remarkable claim that this teacher from Galilee is the same eternal God who speaks to Moses out of the burning bush. There, God empowers Moses to lead Israel out of slavery into freedom. Moses asks, “Whom shall I say sent me?” The Voice of God responds, “Tell them I AM sent you.” When Jesus says, “I AM”, God sends us out, too, to be individuals and communities who serve truth and freedom in the world.
