Daily Devotion - John 8:58 - Jesus is the Great I Am
"Jesus said to them before 'Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM." John 8:58
Have you ever said something that made a group of religious people so mad that they picked up stones to throw at you? Don't worry I haven't done that either. I have preached many times and I can say that I have not ever faced that at all.
In John 8 Jesus said something that completely makes the Jews of His day erupt in anger. They become so angry they try to stone Him, but Jesus escaped.
They ask if Jesus viewed Himself greater than Abraham. Jesus' response was that He wasn't honoring Himself but rather the Father and that the Father honors Him. Jesus tells them they don't know the Father but He does.
Verses 56-58 read "Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad. Then the Jews said to Him, 'You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham? Jesus said to them, 'Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM."
After saying this, they became so angry they tried to stone him.
Jesus Knew What He Said
Jesus didn't make a mistake by saying this. He knew exactly the repercussions of his words. He knew what was going to happen and He concealed himself in escape as the Jews tried to kill him.
The reaction of the Pharisees proves they understood Jesus was claiming to be the very God that showed himself to Abraham and Moses.
This secures my soul as I can rest in the fact Jesus is God. He is either who He said He was or He is not.
Accepting the Great I Am
It was at Freeway Ministries 5 years ago I placed my faith and trust in Jesus. Part of that was initially trusting He is God. To this day I still find peace in knowing Jesus is God.
In the midst of this season, there is restlessness, fear, extreme viewpoints, and other things that show great unrest. But I can rest in Jesus being God. I don't have to fear the unknown. I can have the assurance that parries all anxiety, assurance that brings about peace and allows me to rest at night. That assurance is knowing Jesus is The Great I Am.
