March 25, 2018 - On each Passion Sunday we hear the Gospel reading from St. John in which Jesus, while in the temple, declares to the Jews and Jewish leaders that He is the Great I AM. To best understand what He is declaring to them, we look at Exodus 3 when God first declared His Name to Moses through the burning bush. There God tells Moses that He has heard the cry of His people and has come down to deliver them and bring them up to a good and large land. Today Jesus declares Himself to be the Great I AM who has heard our cry and come to be our final and eternal Deliverer.
