Lord's Day Devotion - HAIKU - I Am He ( John 18 ESV)

 

Father God, through Jesus we have the words and action of love and eternal life.

 

"Whom do you seek?"  He

asked. "Jesus of Nazareth,"

was their reply.  Oh!

"I am He."  Power-

-ful words.  Backwards they fall to

the ground.  "I am He."

Angry, jealous men,

seeking Jesus.  Not in faith.

Full of malice.  Hate.

Slice!  Servant's ear cut

off.  Peter's sword defending.

"Put it away."  NOW.

Jesus, the I am,

must drink the cup His Father

gave Him.  Guiltless one.

"No fault in Him," said

Pilate.  Choice.  Choose Jesus or the

robber.  "Not this man."

Barabbas, sinful.

Jesus the sinless King of

the Jews.  "The I AM."

What is truth?  Whom do

you seek?  Now is the time to

choose, Jesus only.

Thank You Jesus for who you are, our selfless, sinless Savior.  We remember You this Lord's Day in the breaking of bread and the drinking of the cup.  Thank You for Your sacrifice.  Amen.
