Jesus answered, “I tell you the truth, before Abraham was even born, I AM!”
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. 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
How have you responded to Jesus, the Son of God?
