~ Jesus Christ Is Self-Existent ~
Passages
~ “And God said to Moses, ‘I AM
WHO I AM.’ And He said, ‘Thus you shall
say to the children of Israel, “I AM has sent me to you”’” (Exodus
3:14-15).
“Jesus said
to them, ‘Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM’” (John 8:58).
Significance
~ God is! Jesus Christ is! “I AM” is essentially a blank check in which
to fill in any of His wonderful and unique qualities.
Comment ~ Jesus Christ amplifies His great I AM title throughout the Gospel of John.

additional remark: For a different look and fuller understanding
of the self-existence of God see chapter 14, entitled “True Perpetual Motion” in
the international award winning book GOD
LIGHT: Sunlight Sonlight (find details by clicking on the God Light tab above).
the key question:
“Who do you say that I am?”
(Matthew 16:15). This is the most
important question you will ever answer. If you do not answer it, or answer it
incorrectly, you have made the biggest mistake anyone can make!
