I am

In the words that condemn Him finally to the cross, Christ says (Luke 22:71) to the High Priest's question, "Are you then the Son of God?",that, "You are right in saying, "I am"". I am struck that this can have a double meaning. First, as declaring Christ as the First son of God, and second as saying to each of us, starting with the High Priest, that we are also Sons of God if we declare, "I am". This is the message God first gave us when on the mountain top with Moses he declared his name as "I am". Say you are part of God, believe in him, be with him, be born of him and you will become "I am". For "I am" is the light that came into the world, and that light is consciousness, knowledge, self-realization, the self not only of man, but of God and creation!
