*DAILY DEW 14/FEBRUARY/2025* *I AM* _Key Bible Text:_ *"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: 5-6 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ The scene in John 18:5-6 is a dramatic and pivotal moment in the narrative of Jesus' arrest. When the temple guards and Roman soldiers ask Jesus to identify Himself, He responds with a simple yet profound statement: "I am he" (Greek: "Ego eimi"). This phrase is more than just a casual affirmation; it is a declaration of Jesus' divine identity, echoing the name of God revealed to Moses in Exodus 3:14. The response of the guards and soldiers is telling. As soon as Jesus utters these words, they "went backward, and fell to the ground" (John 18:6). This reaction suggests that Jesus' statement was not just a claim to human identity but a manifestation of His divine power and authority. The guards and soldiers, though armed and intent on arresting Jesus, are suddenly overwhelmed by the weight of His presence. The lesson from this verse is that Jesus' identity and authority are not to be underestimated. When He declares Himself to be the "I Am," He is asserting His divinity and sovereignty over all creation. This scene serves as a reminder of Jesus' power and majesty, and it challenges us to respond to Him with reverence, worship, and obedience. As we reflect on this passage, may we be awed by the majesty of Jesus and may our hearts be drawn to worship Him as the one true God. _MEDITATION:_ *When you recognize the power of the "I am" that's in you, you will face your challenges with every sense of calm and an assurance of Victory.* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Mr_Positive_Impact* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_FEBRUARY,2025* ❤ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
