The Great I am

The Great I am – Fifty One

      The Lord wants you to know who He is today.  He is first of all the great I am. When Moses asked who sent Him the Lord told Him that He was I am.  The Lord is the eternal, omni present, omniscience, all sufficient and true one.  Jesus when He was on the planet was called many things.  He introduced Himself as the Messiah in John 4:26, this He did when He was talking the Samaritan woman by the well.  Jesus is the Messiah and the Christ.  He will save you today as you reach out to Him.  Remember His salvation is full and free.  Nothing has to be added to it.  Jesus did it all when He died, was buried and rose from the dead. 

     Jesus in John 6:35, was introduced by John as the Bread of Life.  When you celebrate communion which is the remembrance and His broken body and shed blood you are proclaiming His death of the Lord until He comes.  The Lord has done great and wonderful things for us.  We could not save ourselves.  Before Jesus Christ our only final destination was hell but now He has given us eternal and abundant life because we believed and trusted Him.

     Jesus proclaimed that He was the one from above in John 8:23.  Jesus left His place in heaven and glory to come down to save us.  Jesus chose to become a man so that all mankind could be saved.  He chose to humiliate Himself and come in the form of man to be the eternal man so our aspects of God’s judgment could be fulfilled.  The Lord knew that the blood of animals was not enough.  To deal with eternal aspect of mankind’s sin was to send the eternal man.  His death, burial and resurrection was the thing that appeased the Father’s judgment.  Only the shedding of blood can deal with the eternal separation of man to God.  Jesus bridged the gap between man and God.  He was the one from above. 

     So today draw near to the Lord.  The Great I am and His Son Jesus Christ are reaching out to you today.  You do not have to stay in your sins and destruction.  You can come and receive eternal and abundant life.  The Lord loves you so much.  His love compelled Him to make a way when there was no way.  Our faith and trust in this provision through Christ will save us today.  Today is your day of salvation.  Take that which has been provided and enter into a life of victory, restoration, healing and eternal life.  The choice is yours and choose wisely.
