““If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.”

‭‭John‬ ‭15‬:‭18‬-‭19‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Prayer & Reflection: https://www.freenfit.org/single-post/free-fit-the-gospel-of-john-lenten-daily-decisions-devotions-29

We love because he first loved us. We simply exist because he existed first. We cry because he made the tears possible and we laugh because he is the author of joy! God is all knowing, all comforting and all loving! We collapse inside at the thought of needing to love all our friends and family let alone the world! How is it all possible? It is because he is the great I AM!

Jesus responded to questioning about his identity in this on more than one occasion. He identities that he is “I am” seven times in the Gospel of John. He states that he is the following seven I am statements:

1. I Am the Bread of Life - John 6:35

2. I Am the Light of the World - John 8:12

3. I Am the Gate for the Sheep - John 10:7, 9

4. I Am the Good Shepherd - John 10:11, 14

5. I Am the Resurrection and the Life - John 11:25

6. I Am the Way, the Truth, and the Life - John 14:6

7. I Am the True Vine - John 15:1, 5

Jesus is the I am that we must become more like so that we can truly pick up our Cross and follow Him. It is essential that we remain in the Vine, follow the Way, speak the Truth, live the Life, believe in his Resurrection and invitation to Eternal Life, hear the voice of the Shepherd, open the Gate for his Sheep, illuminate his as the Light of the World and receive the Bread of Life!

With Jesus as our great I am we become less, we moan and manipulate our situation to be for us and it works out against us! Instead we must follow Him all the way to the Cross this Easter to live a life for Him today, forever and always!

Let us Receive Christ Today!

Father God thank you that you love me, thank you that you know me and that you remain with me always. As we explore the world outwardly today help internally process and build strength, confidence and courage in you. Help us never lose site of who you are and what you have done for us as the great I am in Jesus name. Amen

Here is the rewritten text without spaces and duplicates:

"For who has known the mind and purposes of the Lord, so as to instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ [to be guided by His thoughts and purposes]. [Is 40:13]" 1 Corinthians 2:16 AMP
