Question: “What did Jesus mean when He said ‘I AM’?”

by

Answer: Jesus, in response to the Pharisees’ question “Who do you think you are?” said, “‘Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad.’ ‘You are not yet fifty years old,’ the Jews said to him, ‘and you have seen Abraham!’ ‘I tell you the truth,’ Jesus answered, ‘before Abraham was born, I am!’ At this, they picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus hid himself, slipping away from the temple grounds” (John 8:56–59). The violent response of the Jews to Jesus’ “I AM” statement indicates they clearly understood what He …

How the European Union Becomes the Antichrist’s Kingdom.

And how Israel could quickly become a World Superpower. By Jeff Robb  (The second to last paragraph is quite fascinating and the main inspiration behind my posting this. Well, plus, I have been wanting to use this image for a while now. 🙂 ) The Bible predicts a number of confederacies in the end times. For example, the European Union is well into the process of stitching back together the former Roman Empire as Daniel prophesied would happen 2,600 years ago. The EU has grown into the largest economy in the world, even larger now than the United States. At …

Sent to Serve

by

Our daily activities should reflect our purpose on earth as Jesus’ did. JOHN 17:18 18 As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.

Then it’s time to go to sleep and start all over. Where in this routine are they making time to fulfill their true purpose? This isn’t the model Jesus set for us. When we look at the life …

Proverbs 4:7 “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.” _____________________________________________________________ For most of us, the end of spring is filled with graduations and celebrations of achievement. The student who has given himself or herself to learning has acquired knowledge. Knowledge, however, is not enough, nor is it even the most important thing. A man can be a genius, yet be void of wisdom. Without wisdom, he will eventually fail. Here in this proverb we see the central theme of wisdom. In the original Hebrew, the word wisdom means skill of mind. Wisdom …

“Behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.” Matthew 27:51

by

No mean miracle was wrought in the rending of so strong and thick a veil; but it was not intended merely as a display of power–many lessons were herein taught us. The old law of ordinances was put away, and like a worn-out vesture, rent and laid aside. When Jesus died, the sacrifices were all finished, because all fulfilled in him, and therefore the place of their presentation was marked with an evident token of decay. That rent also revealed all the hidden things of the old dispensation: the mercy-seat could now be seen, and the glory of God gleamed …
