Jesus Betrayal And Arrest ( suggested Bible reading )
John: 18: ...
Jesus fully realized all that was going to happen to him,
so he stepped forward to meet them.
" Who are you looking for he asked?
Jesus of Nazareth, they replied.
"I AM HE " Jesus said, ( Judas who betrayed him was
standing with them.) As Jesus said " I AM HE " they all
drew back and fell to the ground. Once more he asked them
"Who are you looking for" ?
Once again they replied " Jesus the Nazarene".
I told you " I AM HE " Jesus said...
Key on to the statements " I AM HE" and " I AM THAT I AM"
Very similar, ( aren't they ?) Consider the fact that those above statements were made millenniums apart. I believe Jesus statements were no empty words - demonstrating God's power when" all drew back and fell to the ground." In his three year ministry on earth, by miraculous deeds and testimonies equating Himself with his heavenly Father. proves ; ( with the faith of a child) that Jesus was indeed God in the flesh.
Blessings !
