Eureka: I Have Found The Great I Am

EUREKA: I HAVE FOUND THE GREAT I AM.

MANY HATE WHAT THEY DON’T KNOW. JESUS’ CLAIM TO “I AM” ANGERS MANY. EUREKA: COME LET US FIND JESUS’ ETERNAL EXISTENCE. DO WE KNOW THE GREAT I AM? THAT WAS HERE FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD? JESUS IS THE ETERNAL I AM.

John 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness ---

When I was in the 3rd grade I attended a VBS. The theme that year was COWBOY, WESTERN. We were searching to finding new trails to deeper living. Each night there was a new sign pointing toward God’s plan. The last night the word was EUREKA: I FOUND IT.

*EUREKA: to finally understand, excited by discovery, a cry of joy or satisfaction when one discovers or finds something. To suddenly find something, to solve a difficult problem, to come out of darkness into the light.

HAVE WE FORGOTTEN? THERE IS A DANGER OF BECOMING TOO FAMILIAR WITH A NAME. THE THIRD COMMANDMENT IS DON’T TAKE THE LORD’S NAME IN VAIN…

Have we become so familiar with God’s name that we trivialize God’s holy name ?

Exodus 20:7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

THE THIRD COMMANDMENT IS VERY CLEAR. WE TAKE THIS COMMAND LIGHTLY. WE PALLIATE. DON’T TAKE THE LORD’S NAME IN VAIN… JESUS HAS A LESSON. HE IS MORE THAN A LIFE GIVER AND HEALER --- JESUS LESSON IS WHO HE REALLY IS.

KNOWING THERE GREAT DANGER IN ABUSING OR MISUSING THE NAME OF GOD, THE HEBREW PEOPLLE WAS VERY CAREFUL WITH THE NAME OF GOD.

*Prior to the burning bush God was known as a TITLE: ELOHIM OR EL. This is a title not a name.

*Later God is known by EL SHADDIA this name suggests GOD ALMIGHTY.

*GOD CALLS HIMSELF AND HIS ETERNAL NATURE AS: I AM --- THE DOMINION OVER ALL.

*The name of God is mention in various forms over 6,000 times in the Bible.

*THE HEBREW PEOPLE WERE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO SAY YHE NAME OF GOD ALOUD.

*The Hebrew were careful not to completely spell out the name of God.

*THE GOD WHO WAS, THE GOD WHO IS, THE GOD WHO WILL BE.

*They might say the name ADONAI or write in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS to identify God.

*The people might use the name JEHOVAH or LORD IN ALL CAPS.

EUREKA: WHAT SHALL I SAY? AS MOSES LEFT HIS TENT THAT MORNING HE WOULD NEVER BE THE SAME. ONE DAY MOSES HAD A PERSONAL EXPERIENCE OR ENCOUNTER WITH THE ETERNAL GOD OF HEAVEN. WHAT SHALL I SAY?

Exodus 3:13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? What shall I say unto them?

God comes to term with mortal man. God was so great one name was difficult at best. God says: I HAVE NO NAME TO DEFINE ME: I AM LIMITLESS--- ANY NAME WOULD LIMIT GO.THE ONE WHO STARTED EVERYTHING AND THE ONE THAT WILL CONTINUE… THE ALPHA, THE OMEGA --- THE BEGINNING, THE AUTHOR, and THE ALL POWERFUL. Is it possible that WE WILL EVER REALLY UNDERSTAND THE POWER OF GOD’S NAME? THE NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES.

Exodus 3:14 (KJV) And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.

ESV: I AM WHO I AM; KJV: I AM THAT I AM; NIV: I AM WHO I AM; WYCLIFFE: I AM THAT I AM.

Isaiah 42:8 I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.

Leviticus 18:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am the LORD your God.

JESUS COMES FORWARD TO TEACH US WHO HE REALLY IS. JESUS’ LESSON IS LOUD AND CLEAR. . HE IS MORE THAN A LIFE GIVER AND HEALER --- JESUS’ LESSON REVEALS WHO HE REALLY IS. JESUS HAS A LESSON. HE IS MORE THAN A LIFE. JESUS IS THE “I AM!” JESUS IS THE GIVER AND THE HEALER --- JESUS LESSON IS WHO HE REALLY IS. THE GREAT I AM.

JESUS IS THE GREAT I A. THE GOD OF ISRAEL --- JESUS IS GOD. The claim to I am makes many mad.

Everything in the Bible tells us JESUS IS THE GOD OF ISRAEL. The Old Testament points Jesus was a type and a fore shadow of GOD to come. He was the forward to the coming Messiah. The New Testament reveals Jesus as GOD IN THE FLESH.
