John 8:24 New International Version (NIV)
24 I told you that you would die in your sins; if you
do not believe that I am he, you will indeed die in your sins.”
The crucial phrase, somewhat disguised by our translations,
is this one: "Unless you believe that I AM, then you will die in your
sins." As John so often does, he grabs a simple phrase, fills it full to
the brim with meaning, and leads us to see Jesus in a dramatically fresh way.
Jesus is I AM, God with us. How could God love us so? We can't know the full
answer to this, but we can surely believe and rejoice and live for his glory.
Thought for today:
Am I committed to being the best version of myself?
