It
appears quite certain that Jesus Christ clearly identified Himself with the Jehovah
of the Old Testament. In John 8:58
He said unto the Jews: “Verily, verily, I say unto you, before Abraham was, I
AM.” This is exactly the name that God revealed to Moses in Exodus 3:14. There are other passages in which the
Lord used this expression, but perhaps the most significant is John 18:5, 6, where Jesus answered the throng that
came to arrest Him in the garden with the words, “I AM.” And it is
recorded, “As soon then as he had said unto them, I AM, they went
backward, and fell to the ground.” This was surely a supernatural manifestation
of His Deity as Jehovah God.
