The Name of God

 Part II

   Once we know and understand God, He will pour out His grace on all of us. 'I AM' is a potent name for God. Only God has the authority to declare, "I Am God." In John chapter 17, Jesus prayed., 'And eternal life is this: to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent., John 17: 3.  How do we  obtain the eternal life, only by knowing and understanding Jesus Christ and the Father is; One God.                              

    I remember the words of Br. Shaji in one of his talks; when he explains the Name of God. He said: ‘Jesus Christ is the same God, the living God, He who  has spoken to Moses from the bush, in Mt. Sinai. And we should believe that’ ‘The angel of Yahweh appeared to him in a flame blazing from the middle of a bush. Moses looked; there was the bush blazing, but the bush was not being burnt up. Moses said, ‘I must go across and see this strange sight, and why the bush was not being burnt up.’ When Yahweh saw him going across to look, God called to him from the middle of the bush. ‘Moses, Moses!’ he said. Here I am,’ he answered. Come no nearer,’ he said. ‘Take of your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground. I am God of your ancestors.’ he said ‘the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and God of Jacob.’ At this Moses covered his face, for he was afraid to look at God.’(Exodus.3: 2-6). God commands Moses to make himself holy before approaching Him. The blazing bush symoolizes God's Spirit, which is Fire. The same fire that sanctified Mary, which God prepared and kept holy for His only Son, Jesus Christ. Moses was terrified to approach God and face His vision after God revealed His name to him.
