To be honest, for a long time this concept of 'I AM' really confused me. What does it all mean? Once I started researching it and hearing a pastor preach a sermon about it I was fascinated. God's name, the I AM, reveals the fullness of His nature. All of God's character and attributes are embodied in His name. I AM that I AM reveals His self existence and what He is in Himself. Never-changing, faithful, eternal. We cannot and will not ever fully comprehend the fullness of His nature and attributes. Wow. Above all, learning about all of this just creates a bigger sense of awe for my Father.
"Then Moses said to God, "Behold, I am going to the sons of Israel, and I will say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you.' Now they may say to me, 'What is His name?' What shall I say to them?" God said to Moses, " I AM WHO I AM"; and He said, "Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, 'I AM has sent me to you.'" - Exodus 3:13, 14
Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am." - John 8:58
Dear Jesus,
I praise You I AM for being far, far, FAR bigger and greater than we can ever grasp. Thank You for never changing and for remaining faithful always. I sit here in awe of Your greatness tonight Lord. Amen.
