Abraham Series: "Before Abraham was, 'I AM' "

11/1/2018

 
The patriarch Abraham was the "Father of the Jews", and revered by the Jewish, Muslim and Christian faith traditions. His story is narrated in Genesis 11:27 to Genesis 25 in 'the generations of Terah', Abraham's father.
We looked at various parts of Abraham's story from the perspective of New Testament writings about him, concluding with the fierce debate in the Temple courtyards between Jesus and the Jewish leaders in John 8.
Jesus ended the debate with the words "Before Abraham was, 'I AM' " (John 8:58), leading the Jews to pick up rocks and seek to kill Him.
They did not succeed then, but did later as He died on the cross. But then all their plans went wrong as He rose, and affirmed His teaching and claims that He was one with the living God, and indeed was before Abraham.
