I AM So then one day, in the fullness of time, there came a Man, and this Man began to teach a new kind of life: life with God, life in God`s kingdom, life under God`s reign, in God`s presence, life with God`s favor and God`s power. And He taught that this life was now possible for human beings ordinary human beings men, women, slave, free, rich, poor, Jew, Gentile. His name was Jesus. He said that He is the "Kingdom Bringer." All the hopes of the human race are wrapped up in Him. He is the climax of this whole redemptive history. In fact, one time He was teaching, and He said to the people, Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day, because the Kingdom of God is here. Abraham saw it and was glad. ''John 8:56'' The crowd is amazed and staggered by this statement, and they respond to Jesus, You are not even fifty years old, yet you claim to have seen Abraham. ''John 8:57'' Then comes one of the most dramatic statements in history: I tell you the truth. Before Abraham was born I AM. ''John 8:58'' This is like a slap on the face. He doesn`t say, Before Abraham was born I was, or I already existed, or I was around. He says, Before Abraham was born I AM. Why does He speak that phrase? Well everyone is real clear about what He is saying: God has come down in me. God has come down. Get your hopes up. After this, we`re told in the text that the crowd picked up stones. They were ready to kill him and, because of this claim, eventually they did. But a group of people, a small group at first, was convinced that this man in His life and His teachings and then in His death on the Cross, in His Resurrection and the empty tomb this man was redefining what is now possible for human life. They believed that He really is the Kingdom-Bringer that He came to "bring up there down here" that Jesus is It. He`s It everything you`ve been hoping for. They wrote in their letters to one another and in their records of His life, which became the New Testament Scriptures, promises and descriptions of what life can look like for people who follow Jesus.

As Jesus is One with God  Jesus explains clearly how He and God are One, working to save the Earth, as God originally planned it to be.   To believe in God is to believe in Jesus, and to follow the words of Jesus is to follow the Son of God, and that means BOTH.  Amen!

His early awareness of himself. I am wondering if Jesus was aware of his divinity as a baby, child, teenager? Did his parents tell him that he was the son of God? How did he react to this information? I probably sound naive, but I honestly want to know? (I am very interested in Him.

Jesus With Authority Jesus own words demostrate his authority.  He came to do the will of the Father and demostrated obedience.  His claims point to Him being one with God.  My Muslim friends, although I have few, find this concept very difficult.  How can one come in human form as a baby and experience humanity?  To them, he was a prophet and nothing more.   My friends who have not experienced Christ see him as a "good teacher, but not the Son of God, one of the most influential teachers in history."  If they study the scriptures they'll find that Jesus could not be just a teacher.  His claims either made him a lunatic, or he was the Son of God.   By: Rodney Jackson - August 28, 2007 - Public Category: I am One with God the Father - Jesus
