Who Do You Think You Are?

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on May 16, 2013

Contributed by John Lowe on Sep 8, 2017

“I am the light of the world” is the highest claim that He has made so far in the Gospel of John. One of the definitions of God is that He is light (see 1 John 1:5). He is absolute in His holiness and in His justice.

"i Am": Jesus' Greatest Declaration

Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Sep 17, 2021

Jesus said, “I am,” he knew what lay ahead for himself and those who would follow him. “I AM!” is a declarative statement that few can make with the kind of authority and confidence that Jesus embodied. One will find seven reference to himself using “I Am”.

Yet, many were expecting to see him sitting tall and proudly astride a spirited war-horse. Instead ...read more

Jesus has just declared that the Father and He are one, one in intention and one in mind and heart. The Jerusalem crowd that Jesus has been preaching to heard His words as blasphemy, and that offense carried the death penalty.

Friday of the Fifth Week in Lent 2025 Today’s Gospel reading from St. John continues the narrative we heard yesterday from an earlier chapter. You may recall that incident.
