The great I AM


 Meditation John 8:51-59


1. Jesus said to them that if any man keeps his saying he shall not see death. (V51)
2. The Jews told him that he has a devil and that Abraham and other prophets died but he is telling that if any man shall keep his words they shall not die. (V52)
3. They asked what he is making of himself as Abraham and all the prophets died. (V53)
4. Jesus answered and said to them that if he honours himself his honour is nothing, but it is the Father who honours him, the one whom they say as God. (V54)
5. Jesus said that still they Don't know him but he knows him and that if Christ said he doesn't know the father then he is also a liar like them. Jesus said he knows the Father and keeps his sayings. (V55)
6. Jesus said even Abraham wanted to see his day and he saw it and was glad. (V56)
7. Then the Jews started murmuring that CHRIST was not even fifty years old and how had he seen him. (V57)
8. For this Christ verily verily said unto them that before Abraham, was he. (V58)
9. They took stones to stone him, but Christ went out of the temple and passed by through their midst. (V59)

LIFE APPLICATION:

The great I AM

Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
John:8:58

Today, God put in my heart to share a small thought on the great I AM.
As I am writing this, my heart shivers as I ponder the greatness of our Almighty God and King.

By his grace and mercy, let me show you a glimpse of this great I AM from the scriptures as the way the spirit of God leads me to do.

This word "AM" is very interesting. It means it is a present tense always, and is not changed by the past or by the future.
Simply put, the word has no tense.

This is very difficult to explain with human words, with a small mind we can comprehend with.

Let me turn into the scriptures for better enlightening.

When God tried to explain who he is to Moses, all that he could say is I AM THAT I AM.

And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
Exodus:3:14

Dear Child of God! That is he... The great I AM.

 He can never be equated. He can never be duplicated. He can never have a rival; HE can never have a beginning and he does not have an end. He is eternal; HE is immortal;

1. HE IS THE BEGINNING AND THE END:

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
Revelation:1:8

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

2. He is the Lord.

That the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, I am the LORD: speak thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say unto thee.

3. He is the Lord that healeth us:

And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.
Exodus:15:26

4. He is a Gracious God.

and it shall come to pass, when he crieth unto me, that I will hear; for I am gracious.

9. God created all alone and there was no other Gods besides him.

I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:

Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.

11. He is GOD thy deliverer.

Proverbs:8:14

14. He is a great king:

But cursed be the deceiver, which hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth unto the LORD a corrupt thing: for I am a great King, saith the LORD of hosts, and my name is dreadful among the heathen.
Malachi:1:14

15. He is a God who changes not.
