Jn8

"Before Abraham was, I AM." Jesus spoke these words to the Jews who were questioning Him. He leaves no question as to what He believed about Himself. He believed He was God. He quotes the words of God spoken to Moses through the burning bush as though they were His words…and they were!

Either He was who He claimed to be or He should have been stoned to death. Earlier in this chapter He said, "I am the light of the world." It is in these "I am" statements of Jesus that He clearly declares His deity. Don't miss this central truth of christianity. Jesus is God.

He is the creator of life. He is the sustainer of life. He is the one who can give eternal life to all who believe.
