John8:21-30 Having trouble with John8:24 "If you do not believe that I am" how does this relate to the Old Testament. The revelation of the Lord God to man? Also in John8:57-58You are not yet fifty old adn you have seen Abraham (58)Most assuredly I Say to you before Abraham was I.I believe Jesus was born beore Abraham. |

The ways the Jews referred to God was I Am so when Jesus said He was I am, they knew exactly what He meant. This was how God referred to himself in burning bush. Jesus is God, he wasn't born, He always existed. He came to earth as a human and was thus born a human but He always existed as God. | ||||||

Excellent note brother Norrie: "I Am." a short sentence and yet such a profound statement. It reminds me of Gen. 1:1 "In the beginning God" All else pales to these statements. We stand in awe as we realize that "I Am" as sense of being which is eternal. God's view on things is eternal. He is not limited by finite time or space. He is from eternity to eternity "the holy one who inhabiteth eternity". And as you have rightly pointed out Jesus used this statement so many time "I am" and would connect it to different metaphors to try and give us an understand of who he is. For people who say that Jesus never claimed to be God, they must be aware of the number of times he claimed this title which is his alone "I Am" The most amazing part of this truth is that this precious one, co-equal, co-existant and co-eternal with God is our Saviour. Praise his precious name. God bless you Robert |

Robert, We've been studying John in Sun School and several times He said He was God besides there. I remember my pastor preaching on that too and got the tape. :) BTW, it's sister, not brother. :) But I'm not one of those that likes to be called Sister _____, I grew up Cath and that just reminds me of being a nun-no thanks! :) Norrie |
