ronscarpa Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 (edited) Our Unspeakable PrivilegeOur WORD for Sunday, 9/20/2015 - John Piper God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” (Exodus 3:14) One implication of the magnificent Name, I AM WHO I AM, is that this infinite, absolute, self-determining God has drawn near to us in Jesus Christ.In John 8:56–58 Jesus is answering the criticism of the Jewish leaders. He says, “Your father Abraham rejoiced that he was to see My day; he saw it and was glad.” The Jews then said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?” Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly! I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.”Could Jesus have taken any more exalted words upon his lips? When Jesus said, “Before Abraham was, I AM,” He took up all the majestic truth of the Name of God, wrapped it in the humility of servanthood, offered Himself to atone for all our rebellion, and made a way for us to see the Glory of God without fear.In Jesus Christ we who are born of God have the unspeakable privilege of knowing Yahweh as our Father — I AM WHO I AM — the Almighty God * Who exists * Whose personality and power is owing solely to Himself * Who never changes * From Whom all power and energy in the universe flows * And to Whom all creation should conform His life.May those who know the Name of God put their trust in Him...! (Slightly modified) .. Have a Blessed Sunday...RON Edited September 20, 2015 by ronscarpa 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
