It suggested the seeker for enlightenment in prayer to claim godhood with the title, “I Am”. May I ask the author’s readership to consider the challenge posited by the great C.S. Lewis in relation to claiming that singular title?
Jesus said, “I AM the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except though me, “ (John 14:6)
There was no doubt the religious leaders knew Jesus was claiming to be the true Christ incarnate by this title, else they would not have sought to crucify him for affirming it. So such a claim leaves us with only one of three options: he was either: 1, a liar (deceiver), 2, a lunatic (on par with someone who believes he is a poached egg), or 3, worthy to bow down before and be worshipped as the true Lord.
May we be set free through this ultimate truth/love, (not mouth some claptrap about him just being another “great moral teacher”; he has not left any other option than recognition as Saviour and Lord open to us.)
For “God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes on him should not perish, but have everlasting life,”(John 3:16).
I will be happy to discuss these things with anyone without obligation.
