John 8:58... “Amen, amen, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.”
Truly, take a moment to think about this declaration that Jesus has made. It puzzled the Judeans(Jews) so much that they took up stones to cast at him to kill him. They thought; how could this be? It is not possible! Jesus was from the beginning, and is the beginning and the end; the first and the last; the alpha and the omega; the Aleph Tau. Jesus is our hope, where our belief and trust should be, our light, our salvation and our King! He is our redeemer, our high priest and our mediator between God our Father and us. How amazing to be for all eternity, hence the statement, “I am.” Jesus did no say “I was” or “I will be,” but “I am.” From everlasting and to everlasting our Lord(ADNY) shall be. Let us give thanks, appreciate and praise the works that was, is and shall be done. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen and Shalom.
