Bible Question: In John 8:58 Jesus said, "Before Abraham was born, I am." What is so significant about this statement, and what is there about it that would incite the Jews to attempt to stone Jesus? (verse 59). --Hank |
Bible Answer: Exodus 3:14 You need to read this text it will shed a lot of light for you. This was Jesus basically saying "Hey guys,I am God." "The guy who sent Moses......that was me." So you can see why this drove the jews absolutly nuts ... they considered it blasphemy..... However Jesus made similar statement regarding His diety.... this one just came at the right time and to the right people |
