Eternal Identity Declared
- Jesus claimed eternal deity by saying, "Before Abraham was, I am," linking the Bethlehem birth to timeless existence.
- John MacArthur emphasizes this as the boldest, most profound claim about Christ's being.
Rejecting 'I Am' Has Consequences
- Refusing to honor the name "I Am" carries divine consequences, illustrated by Jerusalem's destruction in AD 70.
- MacArthur links Deuteronomy's warning to Israel's rejection of Christ and subsequent judgment.
Focus Worship On The Eternal Child
- Remember that the baby born at Bethlehem is also the eternal I Am when you celebrate Christmas.
- Focus your worship on Jesus' eternal identity, not merely the nativity scene.
