Lent 5: I AM

Detractors of Christianity will often assert that Jesus never claimed to be God. Yet, in John 8, Jesus asserts His divinity, claiming to be the “I AM” of the Old Testament. He challenges His accusers to prove His sinlessness, emphasizing that faith in His Word is essential for eternal life. Jesus’ declaration of being the “I AM” solidifies His claim to Godhood, highlighting the importance of trusting His promises for salvation. Jesus is either a liar, a lunatic, or He is who He says He is.
