Evening: Psalm 136; John 8:47-59
Disputes arise about Jesus’s identity because he does and says remarkable things. Perhaps the most remarkable thing Jesus says is, “Before Abraham was, I am.” [Abraham lived 2000 years earlier.] Why are these strange words so remarkable? To understand this, you must look in the Book of Exodus, where the story is told that, some 1500 years before Jesus, Moses asks God, “What is (your) name?” And God says to Moses, “I am who I am.” Do you wonder who Jesus is? You must decide for yourself. The claim on Jesus’s lips is clear: “I am” ... the eternal One.
