Thursday April 7th: Glory, because I Am

‘… I tell you, before Abraham was, I am.’

John 8: 51-59

We should constantly take note when we sight the word ‘glory ’ or any word derived from the Latin word Gloria (“fame, renown”) as it is used to describe the manifestation of God’s presence.

Jesus stated in the passage that His Father (whom his audience of that time referred to as Our God) gives glory to Him and it is His divinity that the Son manifests. In doing so the Son glorifies the Father. He knew his Father and he knew His purpose.
In the statement (“Before Abraham was, I am”), Jesus claims both pre-existence as Abraham lived 2000 years before Him and also that He was one with God and thus had knowledge of His/Our Father.

Jesus is present, he is saying: ‘If you want to see God, here I am!’
