Moses said to God, "Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they ask me, 'What is his name?' Then what shall I tell them?" God said to Moses, "I am who I am. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: 'I AM has sent me to you.' “God also said to Moses, "Say to the Israelites, 'The LORD, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you.' This is my name forever, the name by which I am to be remembered from generation to generation. (Exodus 3:13-15)
At daybreak the council of the elders of the people, both the chief priests and teachers of the law, met together, and Jesus was led before them. "If you are the Christ," they said, "tell us." Jesus answered, "If I tell you, you will not believe me, and if I asked you, you would not answer. But from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the mighty God." They all asked, "Are you then the Son of God?" He replied, "You are right in saying I am." (Luke 22:66-70)

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet." HELLO, that might be good for old Romeo and Juliet, but we are talking “I Am” here! Rap your mind around the fact that we can still say that the God we worship to this day is “THE God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.” The same YHWH, there is no variation or change and never will be.
And how sweet Jesus’ words to the chief priests: "You are right in saying I AM." What’s in a name, the LOVE of our Heavenly Father…that’s what. |
