The Great I Am...

Sometimes I shake my head in wonder...

“Who should I say is sending me?” is the question Moses asks of God. The reply? “I AM is sending you…” Exodus 3:14

This amazing passage takes place as Moses receives his assignment and he removes his sandals because he is standing on holy ground.

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 establishes His divinity. Co-equal, co-divine, co-eternal, and co-existent with the Father and the Holy Spirit.

So, reflect. 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, or too something. And when He invites me to come dine with Him Rev. 3:20, I need to remember to come humbly and remember I, like Moses, stand on holy ground.
