I tell ya…sometimes…God’s Word knocks me off my feet…
And God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM." And He said, "Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, 'I AM has sent me to you.' " Exodus 3:14
This amazing passage takes place as Moses…tending sheep on the back side of the mountain…encounters the burning bush…that is not consumed by its flames. There…the God of All speaks to Moses…gives him assignment…and Moses takes off his sandals on…such holy ground.
“Who should I say is sending me?” is the question Moses asks of God. The reply? “I AM is sending you…”
I AM. God’s Name meaning simply “TO BE.” Think of it! Our God is eternal…no beginning, no end. Not created…HE IS. Outside of time…outside of human understanding…out of the box. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit…have always been…and always will be. The “Uncaused Cause” my Bible notes tell me. And then…I read…
Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM." John 8:58
In this simple, short statement…Jesus established His divinity. Co-equal, co-divine, co-eternal, and co-existent with the Father and the Holy Spirit…and so
Sometimes, it behooves me to remember…
Yes…Jesus is my dearest friend…but yes…HE IS GOD. He is the great I AM. I can’t…ever…forget this…because sometimes…I am…too casual, too cocky…too something. And…when He invites me come dine with Him (Rev. 3:20)…I need to remember to come humbly…and remember that I, like Moses, stand on holy ground.
