In my personal reading of Scripture on this sunshine Monday (but don’t let the sunshine deceive you that it is warm outside in Southeastern Idaho), I savor how God identifies Himself to Moses in Exodus 3.

This triggers fresh memories of our corporate study as a church family in both books, Isaiah and John’s Gospel.

There is a radical link in the I AM’s from the prophet to the apostle.

Isaiah 41:13; 42:8; 43:3, 10, 13, 15; 44:24; 45:3, 5, 6; 46:4; 48:17; 49:23; 51:15; 60:22

Gospel of John 6:35; 8:12, 58; 9:5; 10:7, 9, 11, 14; 11:25; 14:6; 15:1, 5

And then check the radical link between the prophet and the apostle on “the first and the last.”

The Father is eternal Jehovah.

Yet in every sense, the Son is eternal Jehovah.  Full of blinded zeal, wicked men put Jesus to death for this blasphemy.  But all will bow the knee (either by joyous or forced submission) to the infinite Alpha and Omega.

We are slowly making our way through these Isaiah chapters.  There is only one God, the Holy One, who is worthy of all glory.  There is none other like the Triune God – Father, Son, and Spirit.
