John 14:6
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
When I read today’s verse, I was reminded of Exodus 3:13-14: Moses said to God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ Then what shall I tell them?” 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.’”
God and Jesus are both using the words ‘I am’ to describe themselves. I have always loved that name for God. I know some people get frustrated by it. I often wondered if Moses rolled his eyes and thought, “Yeah and that is going to go over well.” Then there were the Israelites. What did they think? Were they waiting for Moses to finish the statement? Where they like, “Ok, you are whom?”
So, why do I love that name so much? God’s name is an open name, a fill-in-the-blank with your need. Do you need hope? I am hope (1 Tim 1:1). Do you need peace? I am peace (Eph 2:14). Do you need guidance? I am the way, truth, and life (John 14:6)
Whatever you need today, don’t forget God is the Great I Am and so is Jesus Christ! He can fill your every need!
Lord, I am so thankful You are “The Great I Am”! ~amen
