Morning by Morning, April 15, 2026 — Jesus Said, “I AM.”

Good morning, Lord Jesus. I speak out Your name and listen for Your leading to begin my day embraced by my Father, centered in Christ, and filled with Your Holy Spirit. ...

“Jesus said to them, ‘Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.’ Then they took up stones to throw at Him” (John 8:58-59).

They took up stones to stone You to death because they knew Who You were claiming to be—the Eternal One, the One who spoke to Moses from the burning bush, declaring Your name, “I AM WHO I AM.... The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.... This is My name forever” (Exodus 3:14-15).

You walked this earth, as the eternal Word of God, yet humbled in the likeness of human flesh and blood, to reveal Your nature and Your will in our world through a life of love and truth, lived among us and sacrificed for us, as our Messiah, the Christ  (John 1:14 and 4:26; Philippians 2:5-11). 
 
In the security of Your identity, You declared for all to hear and know, to believe and receive: 

"I am the Bread of Life" (John 6:48);
"I am the Light of the World" (John 8:12);
"I am the Gate" (John 10:9);
"I am the Good Shepherd" (John 10:11);
"I am the Resurrection and the Life" (John 11:26);
"I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life" (John 14:6); and
"I am the Vine" (John 15:5).
 
You said, “I AM.” And I believe You are. 

You are One with the Father, one with the Holy Spirit (John 14:11, 16-17, 23). You are the great “I AM” and You are All we need, our Great All in All (Exodus 3:14; Colossians 3:11).
 
Lord Jesus, be my Bread, be my Light, be my Gate, be my Good Shepherd, be my Resurrection and Life, be my Way, my Truth, my Life, be my Vine. Be my All in All. Be the Source of all I am and all I need, as I believe in my heart and confess with my mouth that You are Lord of all (Romans 10:9). In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
