THE GREAT "I AM" MIGHTY GOD!
"Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon Him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye? They answered Him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am He . And Judas also, which betrayed Him, stood with them. As soon then as He had said unto them, I am He , they went backward and fell to the ground ." -John 18:4-6 [KJV] What a glorious scripture is this! Ponder it well, my soul; for of all the miracles of thy, Jesus, there is not one more sweet and satisfactory to contemplate. Yesterday thou wast looking at thy Redeemer under a heavy cloud. Look at Him as He is here represented, for He is still, in this transaction, in the same garden of Gethsemane; and behold how the Godhead shone forth with a glory surpassing all description. Observe what a willing sacrifice was Jesus. He knew the hour was come, for He had said so. He doth not wait to be taken, and by wicked hands to be crucified and slain: but He goeth forth to surrender Himself. Yes! Jesus
