Our LORD and GOD; our Saviour; HE Who says: “The Scriptures…they testify of ME” (John 5:39)
Welcome
Therefore:
"He said to them: "How foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Did not Christ have to suffer these things and then enter His glory?"And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them what was said in ALL the Scriptures concerning Himself"
"I AM [Ego eimi
] the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob", [
"I AM" is [Ego eimi] in the Septuagint
] and Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look upon God.
"I know that Messiah (called Christ) is coming. When He comes, He will explain everything to us", "I AM [Ego eimi] the One speaking to thee" [the Samaritan woman in Sychar] [literal transl]. Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in Him because of the woman's testimony.... came to Him... urged Him to stay... He stayed for two days and because of His words many more became believers. They said to the woman. "We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world". (John 4: 5-42) "I AM [Ego eimi] the Bread of Life. He who comes to Me will never go hungry, and he who believes in Me will never be thirsty" (John 6: 30-41) "I AM [Ego eimi] the LIght of the world. Whoever follows Me shall never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life" (John 8:12-20) "I tell you the truth, I AM [Ego eimi] the Gate for the sheep." "I AM [Ego eimi] the Gate; whoever enters through Me will be saved" "I AM [Ego eimi] the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep" "I AM [Ego eimi] the Good Shepherd; I know My sheep, and My sheep know Me - just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father - and I lay down My life for the sheep" (John 10: 1-21) "Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing My Day; he saw it and was glad". "You are not yet fifty years old", the Jews said unto Him, " and you have seen Abraham?" "I tell you the truth", Jesus answered, " before Abraham was born, I AM [Ego eimi]" (John 8: 56-58) "Jesus said to her [Martha, Lazarus' sister]: "I AM [Ego eimi] the Resurrection and the Life. He who believes in Me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and belives in Me will never die" (John 11:1-45) "When the disciples saw Him walking on the lake, they were terrified. "It is a ghost" they said, and cried out in fear. But Jesus immediately said to them:"Take courage! I AM [Ego eimi] Do not be afraid"........ ........Then those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, "Truly you are the Son of God". (Matthew 14:22-33) "I AM [Ego eimi] the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me" (John 14:1) "I AM [Ego eimi] the True Vine, and My Father is the Gardener" (John 14:28) "I AM [Ego eimi] the Vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in Me" (John 14:28) "So Judas came to the grove, guiding a detachment of soldiers and some officials from the Chief Priests and Pharisees. They were carrying torches, lanterns and weapons. Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to Him, went out and asked them: "Who is it want?" "Jesus of Nazareth", they replied. He tells them, "I AM [Ego eimi]" [literal transl.] When therefore He told them "I AM [Ego eimi]", they went backwards and fell to the ground" [literal transl.] (John 18:1-9) "At daybreak the Council of 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 answer. But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the mighty God" [Referencing Daniel 7:13] They all asked, "Are you then the Son of God?" And He said unto them;" Ye say that: I AM [Ego eimi]". Then they said, " Why do we need more testimony? We have heard it from His own lips". Then the whole assembly rose and led Him off to Pilate. And they began to accuse Him, saying "....this man... claims to be Christ..." (Luke 22:66-71) "I AM [Ego eimi] the Alpha and the Omega", says the Lord God, "Who is, and Who was, and Who is to come, the Almighty" (Revelation 1:8) "I AM [Ego eimi] the Root and the Offspring of David, the bright Morning Star" (Revelation 22:16) "I heard behind me a loud voice, as of a trumpet.... Then I turned to see the voice that spoke with me..... and.... I saw seven golden lampstands, and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band. His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire; His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters; He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength". And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me: "Do not be afraid; I AM [Ego eimi] the First and the Last. I am He Who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death" (Revelation 1:10-18) "And I saw Heaven, set open, and lo! a white horse, and He that was sitting thereon called Faithful and True; and in righteousness doth He judge and make war; and His eyes are a flame of fire, and upon His head are many diadems, having a name written which no one knoweth but Himself, and arrayed with a mantle sprinkled with blood, And His Name hath been called - The Word of God" (Revelation 19:11) |
