Exodus 3:13-14

Exo 3:13 But Moses replied, "When I go to the Israelites and say to them, 'The God of your ancestors sent me to you,' they will ask me, 'What is his name?' So what can I tell them?" Exo 3:14 God said, "I am who I am. You must tell them: 'The one who is called I AM has sent me to you.'

Jesus claims to be “I AM”• The Jews knew the significance of this name.• They held this name in high esteem.• When Jesus began using this name for himself, they

knew that Jesus was in effect claiming to be the one.

John 8:58 "I am telling you the truth," Jesus replied. "Before Abraham was born, 'I Am'."

The Power of the Name• So powerful is this name, that when Jesus spoke it, the

power of God came upon people.

John 18:4 Jesus knew everything that was going to happen to him, so he stepped forward and asked them, "Who is it you are looking for?" John 18:5 "Jesus of Nazareth," they answered. "I am he," he said. Judas, the traitor, was standing there with them. John 18:6 When Jesus said to them, "I am he," they moved back and fell to the ground.
