I Am

3/3/2024 -

When God calls Himself the “I Am” in Exodus 3, it’s a pivotal moment in redemptive history. God reveals Himself to His people and comes to redeem them out of exile and lead them into a new life. God’s name discloses who He is and what He is like. He is the I Am, the unchanging, eternal, self-existent one, infinite and glorious in every way, and above and beyond all created things.

On the Verge of Something

In Exodus 12:2 God tells Moses and Aaron that they are on the verge of something new; that the Passover event will become the new beginning of their life living under God’s Reign, marked by God’s deliverance and freedom. Contrast that to their time under Pharaoh. Gerald Janzen writes, “When Pharaoh is in charge of time, one’s days become an endless repetition of wearisome toil that in time may seem to go on forever. Past and future are just limitless extensions of an intolerable present.” When God is in charge, every day becomes a new adventure.
