Was Jesus a human prophet? Was He divine, but His humanity only an illusion, an apparition? Was He just a man and not God? Was He the Messiah, the Great I Am?
In John 8:56-59, Jesus said, “Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad. So the Jews said to Him, ‘You’re not yet 50 years old, and have You seen Abraham?’ Jesus said to them, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM.’”
His answer left them no possible response except what is described in verse 59, “Therefore they picked up stones to throw at Him, but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple.”
In verse 56, when Jesus said, “Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and saw it and was glad,” He was telling the Jews that He and Abraham knew each other. He and Abraham had a relationship.
Jesus is the great I AM (John 1: 1-18).
This was more than they could handle–absolutely absurd, bizarre, ridiculous, because they said in verse 57, “You’re not even 50 years old.” You and Abraham knew each other? Jesus says, I have a relationship with Abraham, not only do I know Abraham, and Abraham knows Me, verse 58, and I’m telling you, “Before Abraham came into existence, I AM.”
Jesus says, “Before that historical event, I AM.” He doesn’t say, “I was”; He says, “I AM,” and thus attributes to Himself eternal existence in the absolute sense.
I AM the Eternal God
What is Jesus saying here? He’s saying, “I’m the eternal God. I was there when Abraham came out of non-existence into existence because I always am.” Of all the claims that Jesus Christ made in the New Testament, none is more elevated in its solemnity than this one. This phrase harbors within itself the most authentic, audacious, and profound claim that Jesus ever made regarding His being. He said, “I AM the eternal, always existing one.”
The New Testament equivalent is the Tetragrammaton, YHWH, the very name of God from which we get the derivative Yahweh–Jehovah. Ego eimi is the Septuagint translation of the Tetragrammaton, the four Hebrew consonants that form the name of God, I AM.
In Exodus 3:14, “God said to Moses, ‘I AM WHO I AM’; and He said, ‘Then you shall say to the sons of Israel, “I AM has sent Me.”’ God’s name is I AM, Yahweh. That’s God’s name – I AM, the ever-present one, the ever-living one, the one that always exists.
When Moses approaches the bush, the voice of God calls out to him to remove his sandals in the presence of the holy ground. God explains to Moses he has a plan for him to save the Israelites from slavery in Egypt and lead them to the Promised Land of Canaan (Exodus 3:1-22).
“Moses said to God, ‘Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and bring the sons of Israel out of Egypt?’ And he said, “Certainly, I will be with you.” He is not only the ever-living one. He is the ever-present one–ever-living, ever-present on behalf of His people. The significance of His name lies first in His eternal being, but second, in His eternal presence with His people, “I will be with you.” And this was echoed by our Lord when He said at His departure, “Lo, I AM with you”… “always.”
I AM the Lord your God
And there’s a third element in Exodus 3:17, “I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanite, Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, Hivite, Jebusite, to a land flowing with milk and honey.” I will bring you out of your affliction. I AM ever-present, ever-living, and ever-saving–ever-saving. The name of God, I AM, begins to become full-orbed. The Tetragrammaton, Yahweh, is used 6,800 times in the Old Testament. It is the name by which God represents Himself as permanently present, living, and delivering His people. This is further enhanced in Exodus 6:2 – “God spoke further to Moses and said to him, ‘I AM the Lord.’” God repeats His name. “And I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as God Almighty [El Shaddai]”… Now listen to this …“but by My name, Yahweh [“I AM,” here translated “Lord”], I did not make Myself known to them.”
Abraham was justified by faith, not by works (Rom. 4:1-8).
He says, “I made Myself known to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as God Almighty.” I showed My power to Abraham. I showed My power to Isaac. I showed My power to Jacob. But I didn’t really reveal Myself as I AM.
What does He mean by that? He revealed Himself to the patriarchs in supernatural control over nature, supernatural control over history, supernatural control over people and events, and they saw Him as El Shaddai, the Mighty One. And through His name, Yahweh (“I AM”), appears 100 times in Genesis, they never really knew Him as the I AM. Why? The quality of His character represented in that name is about to be revealed for the first time because He’s going to deliver His people for the first time.
I AM the Deliverer
For the first time, He’s going to deliver His people, and the touchstone of God’s saving presence and saving power is the exodus about to happen. God instituted the Passover to celebrate that throughout Old Testament history. To say that He is the I AM does mean that He is the ever-eternal one. It does mean that He is the ever-present one, but now it begins to unfold that He lives forever and is ever near His people to redeem them. So in Exodus 6:4-7, “I also established My covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land to which they sojourned. Therefore I have heard the groaning of the sons of Israel, because of the Egyptians holding them in bondage, and I remembered My covenant, and I said,”…Here it is again…“I AM the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, I will deliver you from their bondage. I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and great judgments. I’ll take you for My people. I’ll be Your God, and then you shall know that I AM the Lord, your God.”
This is a new revelation. The God who is ever-living and eternal, who is ever-present to help as El Shaddai (the almighty one), is the God who redeems His people. I AM, the name Yahweh, introduces itself now in a fresh way, and that is why back in Exodus 6:3, He said, “I revealed Myself as El Shaddai [“God Almighty”], but as Yahweh, I did not make Myself known until now.” This is the first significant corporate act of redemption on the part of God by which He establishes that final component in understanding who He is. It is about deliverance. I AM the eternal one, the one who is near; I AM the one who redeems His people. Exodus 6:7, “I will take you for My people, and I will be your God.” He is the eternal one. He is the ever-present one who establishes a relationship with His people. What is His name? I AM.
The whole saving enterprise of God’s redeeming of Israel from Egypt is bound up in the name I AM. I live; I draw near to save you, redeem you, rescuing you. The whole saving enterprise of God redeeming sinners and gathering His people is bound up in the name, I AM.
I AM the Bread of Life
That name takes on new proportions when you come to the New Testament. This awesome name, familiar to the Jews, becomes the name by which Jesus identifies Himself. I AM, the eternal one. Before Abraham came into existence, I AM. I AM the ever-near, ever-present one, and I have come to save My people from their sins.
Any fool who makes such claims should be stoned. Anybody stupid enough to have that kind of delusion belongs in a mental institution, or we fall at His feet and worship Him as the majestic Christ.
In John’s gospel, John loves this title, this saving name I AM. And he fills up his gospel with this name, which comes from Christ’s lips. In John 6:35, He says, “I AM the bread of life.” And what He means by that is, “I AM the source of that which produces spiritual life.” He said that in the most appropriate situation. People wanted another meal. They had been fed by the miraculous working of our Lord, who created the loaves and the fishes. They showed up for breakfast; they wanted another free meal. They’re thinking about physical food, and He talks about spiritual food. He says you have to eat Me, eat My flesh, drink My blood, take Me in, I AM the bread of life. I, the eternal one, who has come near and ready to save all those who will receive Me – He is spiritual life, spiritual provision.
I AM the Light of the World
In John 8:12, Jesus walks into the Court of the Women in the temple, and the great candelabra is now extinguished because the celebration is over. It’s the day after the celebration when they had the candelabra lit, and it went out of the top of that open patio into the sky like spotlights when it was lit, and now it’s dark. It’s the day after the feast. Jesus in the evident darkness, candle going out, says, “I AM the light of the world, whoever follows Me will never walk in darkness.” And again, He uses the Tetragrammaton–I AM the source of salvation, I AM the light of truth.
Jesus Christ is the Lamb of God (John 1:29-30).
I AM the Good Shepherd
In John 10:7, Jesus says, “I AM the door of the sheep”–I AM the way into the divine sheepfold. In the same chapter, He says, I AM the good shepherd. I provide life; I AM the source of spiritual life. I AM the truth, the light, and the darkness. I AM the one who brings you into fellowship with God, opening the door of the sheepfold. I AM the good shepherd; I provide care. In John 11:25, by the tomb, as it were, of Lazarus, He said, “I AM the resurrection and the life.” I AM, the one who provides eternal life, and again it’s “I AM.” John 14:6. He sums it up: “I AM the way, the truth, and the life.” In John 15:1, Jesus says, “I AM the true vine”–all spiritual productivity goes through Me. The full meaning of all of these massive claims to provide the source of life, the truth, fellowship, care, everlasting resurrection life, fruitfulness–all of it–is found in Him who is none other than the “I AM.” He is saying, “I AM the eternal one; I am the present one; I AM the Savior.” He is the I AM of our salvation. He is God in human flesh.
I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life
Now, for Him to accomplish His redemptive purpose as the sovereign Savior, He has work to do. He has a great work to do. He demonstrates what must be done and how powerful He is to do it. To save His people, He must demonstrate His power over sin. In Mark 2; there were many of these that we could use in the gospels. But Mark 2 is a familiar story. If our Lord is going to save His people from their sins, if He is going to be the Redeemer, then He must conquer sin. He came to Capernaum. He was gathered there with the large crowd, spilling out the edges of a home in Capernaum, the Galilean center of His ministry. No longer any room there, not even near the door, and He was speaking the Word to them. He was always concerned with a proclamation of the gospel’s good news. In Mark 2:3-4, the Bible says, “And they came” (“they” meaning the friends of a certain paralytic) carrying him, four of them. “Being unable to get to Him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above Him.” That’s pretty aggressive, dismantling somebody’s roof. When they had dug an opening, let him down on the pallet. The paralytic is down in front of Jesus, and Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”
Look, if you’re going to save people from their sins, you have to have the power and the prerogative to forgive. You have to be the sovereign over sin. You have to be the one who has all authority over all iniquity. The whole world is in bondage to sin. It is damnation that will follow as a just consequence of sin. If there is to be salvation and rescue from hell, and rescue from damnation, sin has to be dealt with. And there’s only one who can forgive sin: God Himself, against whom all sin is an offense. That’s why David says in Psalm 51:3-4, “Against You only have I sinned.” Even though he had sinned against Bathsheba and her husband, his own family, and the whole nation, it was really God against whom he had sinned. God, being the one offended, is the only one who can genuinely, fully, and ultimately forgive.
Well, the Jews understood this. In Mark 2:7, some of the scribes, who were always there, musing in their minds, said, “Why does this man speak that way? He is blaspheming; who can forgive sins but God alone.” That was their theology, and it was the correct theology. Only God can forgive sins. And here is Jesus saying, “My son, your sins are forgiven.” Jesus sent the man’s sins away, never to be found again, to the depth of the sea, as far as the east is from the west, blotted out, forgotten in the memory of God. This assumes the man’s faith, which must have been a strong faith because of all he went through to get there. And their response to the Jews is very predictable.
Only God can forgive. By forgiving, Jesus demonstrated that He is, in fact, the I AM.
I AM the Lord, your Healer
“Immediately Jesus, aware in His spirit that they were reasoning that way within themselves”… This is His omniscience … “said to them, ‘Why are you reasoning about these things in your hearts?’” That must have been a shock. He read their minds. “Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven’; or to say, ‘Get up, and pick up your pallet and walk’? And so you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.”–He said to the paralytic, “I say to you, ‘Get up, pick up your pallet, and go home.’ And he got up and immediately picked up a pallet and went out in the sight of everyone, though they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, ‘We’ve never seen anything like this.’”
Jesus said to the man at the Pool of Bethesda, “Do you want to be made well” (John 5:1-15)?
Well, answer the question. Which is easier to say to a paralytic, a paralyzed person, a quadriplegic? Which is easier to say? Your sins are forgiven, or get up and walk? A lot easier to say your sins are forgiven, right? Who is going to check on that? Who knows? That’s invisible. So Jesus, to affirm that He has the power to forgive sin, does a miracle that only God can do–instantaneously, in a split second, He tells this paralyzed person, “Get up, pick up your bed, and walk.” No therapy, no recovery period, full strength; rolls up his bed and exits. Clearly demonstrating the power of God, for that is impossible with men, and affirming that if He can do that, He must be God and therefore, indeed, He can forgive sin.
I AM alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades
People that day knew what they were seeing. In Mark 2:12, they were amazed, glorifying God, never seen anything like it. The I AM, the ever-living, ever-near redeeming one, must have power over sin if He is going to save His people from their sins. Secondly, He must have power over spirits. In Mark 5, Jesus came to the other side of the Lake of Galilee, the eastern shore into the country of the Gerasenes or the Gadarenes (either one); and got out of the boat. “Immediately, a man from the tombs with an unclean spirit met Him.” Not exactly a kingly welcome. Jesus steps on the shore, and here comes a maniac. If you compare the other accounts of this story, there are actually two demon-possessed men. Here’s a man coming out of the tombs.
Jesus heals the demon-possessed man from Gerasa living in the tombs (Luke 8:26-39).
Now, who lives in the tombs? “But that’s where he had his dwelling and no one was able to bind him anymore, even with a chain; because he had often been bound with shackles and chains, and the chains had been torn apart by him and the shackles broken in pieces, and no one was strong enough to subdue him.” This man scared the absolute wits out of everybody in the area. “Constantly,” Mark 5:5 says, “night and day.”… He doesn’t sleep …“he’s screaming among the tombs and in the mountains, and gashing himself with stones.”
We also learned that he’s naked and that he has a friend who is also naked. Two demon-possessed madmen who can’t sleep, tormented by demonic possession. They are a danger to everybody. They hide in the tombs until somebody comes along the trail, and then they come screaming like banshees out of the tombs, flailing down the mountain to do damage and harm to their victims. “Seeing Jesus from a distance, however, he ran up and bowed before Him and screamed loudly, ‘What business do we have with each other, Jesus, Son of the Most High? I implore You by God do not torment he.’” In Luke 4:33-36, a demon burst out in the synagogue and said, “We know who You are, You Holy One of God.”
By the way, demons all have sound theology. They know the truth–they hate it. He tells the man, “‘Come out, you unclean spirit!’ And He was asking him, ‘What’s your name?’ And he said to him, ‘My name is Legion, for there are many.’ Began to implore him earnestly not to send them out of the country.”
I AM Who I AM
The demons now start to have a dialogue with Jesus. And so a large herd of swine is feeding nearby on the mountain. We know this is a Gentile area. Jews don’t herd swine, it is forbidden. So the demon says, “Send us into the swine so that we may enter them.” They didn’t want to be disembodied. Temporarily, they would go into the pigs and then, later on, go back into people where they want to do their work. “Jesus permitted them. And coming out, the unclean spirits entered the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea.” Two thousand of them drowned. How many demons were in the man? It was a legion. How many soldiers constituted a Roman legion? It was more than a thousand. Here is a man, one of the two that Jesus directs His attention to, possessed by thousands of demons. No wonder his behavior was like this.
Could Jesus handle that? In a split second. He could shatter the power of a thousand or 10,000. The herdsmen ran away and reported in the city and the country, and the people came to see what happened. They came to Jesus and they observed the man who had been possessed sitting down, clothed. Somebody put clothes on him. In his right mind, that fast – the man with the legion of demons.
They became frightened. Those who had seen it described to them how it had happened to the demon-possessed man and to the swine. And they began to implore Him to leave their region. They were more afraid of Jesus than they were the man. And as Jesus was getting in the boat ready to leave, the man begged him, “Can I come with You? I don’t think I have a future here. Can I come with You?” There were no believers there, but He didn’t let him go. “He said to him, ‘Go home to your people, report to them what great things the Lord has done for you and how He had mercy on you.’” By the way, he is the first missionary in the New Testament. He was the first person Jesus commissioned to go out and preach the gospel. The disciples come later. And this man has only been converted a few hours. I’m sure he had a crash course in gospel truth and he went away and began to proclaim it in Decapolis, a Gentile area of 10 cities, the great things Jesus had done for him.
The temptation of Jesus (Matt. 4:1-11).
I AM the Door
Look, if Jesus is the great I AM, and if He comes to deliver His people, if He’s come to bring His people to the heavenly promised land, He’s going to have to demonstrate power over sin and power over spirits because sin holds all men captive, and so do the forces of Satan.
It is also true that Jesus was sovereign over Satan. In John 14, the Bible says, Satan was powerful, but Christ was greater. Satan came after Jesus with all his power, from the very beginning–tried to slaughter all the babies that were born and, therefore, slaughter the newborn Christ. Came after Jesus through His life through these demon attacks. Came after Jesus in His temptation at the beginning of His ministry. We don’t know all the ways that he came after Jesus. Came after Him in the Garden. Came after Him all the way down the final hours before the cross.
And in John 14:30, Jesus says, “I will not speak much more with you for the ruler of the world is coming, but he has nothing on Me.” Wow! He is called the accuser of the brethren, right? What is Satan looking for? Satan is looking for ways to indict us before God. Even now, he goes before the throne of God to accuse us, and the great High Priest Christ stands in our defense. Satan has men blind and has them captive. The whole world lies in his lap, says, John. He’s the ruler of this world, the god of this age, holding men all their lives in fear and blinding their eyes to the glory of the gospel. And to secure redemption, the great I Am has to overpower sin, the spirit world, and Satan himself. Jesus here can feel his approach. The presence and arrival of Satan are not new; He has been engaged in a battle with him daily. But Satan can’t find a place of vulnerability in Jesus.
Toward the end, as He gets near the cross, Luke 22:52 and 53, Jesus said to the chief priests and officers of the temple and elders who had come against Him, “Have you come with swords and clubs as against a robber?” They came after Him in the Garden. “While I was with you daily in the temple, you didn’t lay hands on Me,” as if to say, “Why are you doing it now?” And then He answers the question. “But this hour and the power of darkness are yours.” This is Satan’s hour. And he’s coming and he’s coming with all his fury. He’s coming to kill the Son of God. He’s coming to destroy the Son of God. But there’s no vulnerability, no weakness, no place for Satan to penetrate because He’s holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners.
I AM the Resurrection and the Life
If the I AM, the ever-living and ever-present One, is going to save His people, He has to be able to conquer sin and spirits and Satan–sovereign over all of that. And let me give you another one. He is sovereign over death or sleep. He said in John 2:19, “Destroy this body and”…What?…“three days I’ll”…Do what?…“I’ll raise it up.” In John 6:40, He says, “All that the Father gives to Me, I will raise up at the last day.” He said at the grave of Lazarus, “I AM the resurrection and the life, whoever believes in Me though he die, yet shall he live.” He says in John 14:19, “Because I live, you shall live also.” He said, “I have the power of resurrection, a resurrection unto damnation, a resurrection unto life.” Chains of death await everyone. Christ Himself has the authority to break those chains. He has the authority and the power to give life.
I love when He stood by the grave of Lazarus and said, “Lazarus, come forth!” And I always think it is good that He said ‘Lazarus,’ or the graveyard would have been emptied. That’s how much power He had.
John 10:17-18, He says, “I lay my life down, but I’ll take it again, no man takes it from Me; I lay it down of Myself and I’ll take it back again.” And He did. The great I AM, the ever-living One; the ever-near, ever-present One; the One who saves His people demonstrates His power through the work of Christ, His power over sin and spirits, Satan, and even death.
I AM the Lord of the Sabbath
Jesus heals the woman with an issue of blood. (Matt. 9:20–22).
Matt. 12:8 says, “I’m Lord of the Sabbath.” What did He mean by that? “I have power over all forms of religion. I have power over all worship. I define religion. I define worship–you don’t.” He shattered the entire Jewish Sabbath system. He purposely violated the Sabbath again and again. Not the Sabbath ordained by God, but the convoluted, false religious traditions of men. When He said, “I am Lord of the Sabbath,” He claimed sovereignty over all religious worship.
He came to destroy false religion and to establish the truth. This is Jesus. Luke 20:40, says, “They were done asking Him questions.” They don’t want to ask Him any more questions because they have been asking many questions – this during the week of His passion. He answered them all and they were silenced. They didn’t have enough courage left to ask Him anything else. So He decides to ask them a question. So He asked them, “How do they say the Christ is David’s son?” That’s important. By the way, compare the Luke passage here and Matt. 22:41-42 is the parallel passage, and it’s recorded there that Jesus began this kind of question from Him to them by saying, “What do you think about Christ?” The Christ? What do you think about the Messiah? Give Me your Messianic view. Whose son is He? That’s what He asks. “Whose son is He?” And they reply, “David’s.” Everybody knew that. All the Jews knew, that the Messiah would be in the line of David, that He would be a Son of David.
I AM the Vine
And then He says to them, “How is it that they say the Christ is David’s Son?” Why do you say that? Why do you believe that? Of course, they had reason to believe that because that’s what the Old Testament said. Second Samuel 7:13-14, that a son would come from the loins of David–who would be the great King, the great Ruler, the great Messiah. Psalm 89 talks about it; Psalm 2 talks about it; Amos 9 talks about this son of David; Micah 5; Ezekiel 37:22-27–the Messiah will be in the line of David. They all understood that. When Jesus comes into Jericho, blind beggars say, “Have mercy on us, Thou Son of David!” In Matt. 15:22, a Canaanite woman cries out to Jesus, “You, Son of David!” In Matt. 12:23, the crowds say that You’re the Son of David. They understood that. They all understood the Messiah would be in the Davidic line.
The Scripture was clear about that. In particular, 2 Samuel 7:12-14; they got it. That is why even in the beginning of the gospel of Luke, when the angel comes to announce the coming of the child, the angel says in Luke 1:35, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, the power of the Most High will overshadow you; for that reason, the holy Child shall be called the Son of God.” But it’s not just the Son of God. Luke 1:32, states, “He’ll be great, be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David; and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and His kingdom will have no end.”
That’s why Matthew includes a genealogy that goes back to David, and Luke includes a genealogy that goes back to David. They all understood that. That’s why when He came in in the triumphal entry to Jerusalem–Hosanna to the Son of David–they all knew that the Messiah would come from the loins of David.
I AM the Alpha and Omega
Then our Lord exposits Psalm 110:1-2 and says, ” How about his? David himself says in the book of Psalms, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, sit at My right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for Your feet.’ Therefore, David calls Him ‘Lord,’ how is He his son?” That’s a tough question.
David was a man. David had a beginning. David is not eternal. We would then assume that the Messiah who came from the loins of David would be a person who didn’t exist but would come into existence. However, the One who is identified as Messiah and called the Son of David is called by David, in anticipation, “Lord.” So we have the same thing we had with the Abraham conversation. The Messiah, while human, in the line of David, transcends all human designation. No Middle Eastern father would ever call his son “Lord.” Why would David call his son Adonai, “Lord”? Some people think David made a mistake. That’s what some commentators say. but Matt. 22:43 says, “He spoke in the Spirit,” and Mark 12:36 says, “He spoke in the Holy Spirit.” Psalm 110:1, “The Lord said to my Lord.” My Lord? David is calling the One who is his son his Lord, so He is both David’s son and David’s Lord.
King David praises the Lord in song (Psalm 100:1-7).
The Jews, by the way, historically always acknowledged this is a Messianic psalm, Psalm 110. It’s a most-often-quoted psalm by New Testament writers, and in all three gospels is attributed to David by Jesus. The psalm talks about Messiah’s character, Messiah’s deity. They all believed it was a Messianic psalm until Jesus came along. And the Jews began to attack that psalm. They began to reject that psalm. They began to reinterpret that psalm to avoid the obvious truth that this Jesus, whose lineage comes from David – laid out in detail by Matthew and Luke – this Jesus, Son of David, is also David’s Lord – David’s Son and David’s Lord.
Jesus is the Great I AM
If I AM became a man, we would expect His life to be sinless, right? It was. If I AM became a man, we would expect His words to be the greatest ever spoken and always absolutely true. His were. If the great I AM became a man, we would expect Him to exert the most profound power over humanity ever displayed. He did. If I AM became a man, we would expect Him to demonstrate supernatural power. Jesus did over disease, over demons, over death. If the great I AM became a man, we would expect Him to manifest the attributes of God, truth, wisdom, power, and love. He did. If the great I AM became a man, we would expect He to conquer death and display His power over all the forces holding men captive. He did.
