Incarnation to Resurrection
Incarnation to Resurrection roughly three and one-half
years, in 12 weeks, Sunday through Friday (six days) per week
Day Fifty-three of Eighty-four:
Yesterday we reiterated Pilates’ query
from nearly two millennia ago - “What is truth?” - John
18:38. And
today we’ll explore what in my view is one of the most powerful “I AM”
declarations recorded in the entire Bible.
In John Chapter Eight, verse 58 we read the Words of Jesus saying - “…before
Abraham was, ‘I AM’.” Those two very
small Words hold such a very powerful meaning because way back in Exodus
Chapter Three, verse 14 G-d (Christ), the very Word of YHVH ( יְהֹוָה
) Yahweh, or more correctly pronounced, yeh-ho-vaw',
our Elohim
( אֱלֹהִים ) pronounced el-o-heem', instructed Moses to - “…tell them
[the Israelites]: 'The one who is called I AM / Hayah ( הָיָה ) pronounced haw-yaw,
has sent me to you'.” [emphasis mine]. Did you catch that? G-d told Moses - Tell them “I AM” sent me to
you! - Exodus
3:14. And
Jesus the Christ / Yeshua Ha Mashiach (Rabbi Yeshua bar Yosef) said - “before
Abraham was, ‘I AM’.” !
If we can pull nothing else from today’s text, please Lord G-d, open the eyes of the readers to see, Jesus said “before Abraham was, ‘I AM’.” Amen.

If we can just take
hold of that… that too right there ^ ^ ^
that, my friends, is… GOOD NEWS!
We’ll leave reading the rest of the text for you individually.

“No Jesus, NO peace” and yet, “Know Jesus, KNOW peace”
How does one get to “know” Jesus? Simple, invite Him into your heart, as Jesus
says: “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and
opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.” [Revelation 3:20 NIV]
How can be assured that this Jesus stuff means anything? Well because the Bible tells us so, as the
Apostle Paul wrote:
“If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is
Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be
saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it
is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.” [Romans 10:9-10 NIV]
And for those of you who say to me, I
can’t be bothered reading the Bible, “it’s confusing” or “it’s a waste of my
time”, may I draw your attention to what the Bible says about wisdom: “The fear
of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is
understanding.” [Proverbs 9:10 NIV]
If nothing else, PLEASE read two chapters
from the Bible – (don’t own one, sorry NO excuse, if you’re reading this, you
can access this: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%203:16&version=NIV) John 3 and John
14!
John 3:16 says: “For God so loved the
world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not
perish but have eternal life.”
And John 14:6 says: “Jesus answered, “I am
the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through
me.”
Well that’s it, that’s Da Bauz’s Take on, “Incarnation
to Resurrection, Day Fifty-three of Eighty-four” – this 28th day of February
