In today's podcast we will close out chapter eight of the Gospel of John and begin chapter nine. The climax of our Lord's teaching in chapter eight is verse 58 where Jesus declared, "before Abraham was born, I am!" This is another bold statement where Jesus claimed to be Almighty God. In this portion of Scripture we will see the conclusion of this confrontation between Jesus and His religious, though spiritually dead antagonists. This is a very interesting account to study.
