When Jesus was asked, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have you SEEN ABRAHAM?" Jesus replied, "Before Abraham was born, I AM."
Jesus did not say, “Before Abraham was born, I was” as if he was created before Abraham. Jesus clearly said, “before Abraham was born, I am.” By saying, “I AM,” Jesus affirmed that he always pre-existed as the timeless God of Exodus 3:14. For if Jesus meant the same thing as saying, “I am Jesus the Messiah,” then why would the Jewish Pharisees have “picked up stones to throw at him?”
The Pharisees knew that Jesus had used “I AM” in the same manner that God the Father used “I AM” in Exodus 3:14. That is why they picked up stones to kill him.
“God said to Moses, ‘I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: I AM has sent me to you.'" Exodus 3:14
