Jhn 18:5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am [he]. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.

As Jesus waits in the garden of Gethsemane, He once again declares His deity, as He gets even closer to the cross for our sake. So thankful we can experience the power of our Lords declaration of the Great I am. A title and character of God that is so impressive and magnificent, yet an intimate reminder that Jesus is willing to fill the need of whatever we need him to be according to His Word. If we need a friend, I am. If you need a comforter, I am. If we need direction, I am. If we need the truth, I am. I am so thankful for our magnificent Creator, Savior, Master, and Friend. So amazed by His knowledge of my sin and mistakes, yet He has shown His love for me, and all who choose to take advantage of the incredible gift of life. Now and forever. Thank you Jesus!

Eph 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

Eph 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;

Eph 2:6 And hath raised [us] up together, and made [us] sit together in heavenly [places] in Christ Jesus:

Eph 2:7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in [his] kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God:

Eph 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
