I AM part 2

In my former blog I discussed God as being the great I AM. Please read it first before reading this blog.

God is self-sustaining and self-sufficient, this was the revelation that God gave to Moses and continues to give us today, but what if I were to tell you that the great I AM showed up again in biblical history in bodily form? The great I AM was, in fact, Jesus Christ. Jesus was in the Old Testament in the form of burning shrub claiming to be God even before he was born because he is God.

A couple of thousand years after the Moses story Jesus stood before his Jewish accusers in the face of death and said this in John 8:56-59; Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad."

57"You are not yet fifty years old," the Jews said to him, "and you have seen Abraham!"

58"I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I am!" 59 At this, they picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus hid himself, slipping away from the temple grounds.

Jesus is the great I AM
