DAILY DEVOTION - 17 AUGUST 2020

Good morning. Peace be with you all. Rejoice in the Lord always. "Jesus answered, “I tell you the truth, before Abraham was even born, I AM!” John 8:58 NLT.

Insight

This is one of the most powerful statements uttered by Jesus. When He said that He existed before Abraham was born, He undeniably proclaimed His divinity and connection to God. Not only did Jesus say that He existed before Abraham, He also applied God's holy name to Himself. This claim demands a response. It cannot be ignored. The Jewish leaders tried to stone Jesus for blasphemy because He claimed equality with God. But Jesus is God.

Challenge

This needs our belief system to respond to Jesus claim. We must know God's Word if we want justification for this claim. To believe that Jesus is God in the form of the Son is part of being a Christian.How have you responded to Jesus, the Son of God? Today, see God the Father, Jesus the Son and the Holy Spirit as one God, three persons in one. This is the bases of our belief in Christ. May God bless and protect you all. In Jesus mighty name. Amen.
