Why would these men cower when Jesus said, “I am He”? In the original Greek, this can be translated as “I AM”, which is saying that Jesus is God Himself. God’s name, Yahweh in Hebrew, stands for “I AM WHO I AM”, and Jesus is saying that He is I AM. These men are cowering because before them stood God Himself, and they were afraid. Do you hear the name Jesus and treat it with reverence, or do you not think anything about it? We often view Christ as our friend, and we don't take Him seriously. We must remember that Jesus is the Son of God and that He is our King. We should hold Him in high regard for who He is and what He has done, and we do this through our thoughts, words, and actions. Do you see Christ for who He truly is, and are you glorifying Him in your life?
