Their reaction revealed the marks of rejecting Him: ignorance, spiritual blindness, and pride. Yet in the face of their attacks, Jesus stood firm and boldly proclaimed His deity by saying “before Abraham was even born, I AM!” (8:58). Pastor Chuck Swindoll challenges us to respond to Christ’s claims . . . not with rejection, but with wholehearted faith. Accept Him as Lord of your life today and find peace that comes to those who are sold out to Christ.
