“When He said to them, ‘I am He,’
they drew back and fell to the ground.”
JOHN 18:6
When
they came to arrest the Lord Jesus in the garden, He asked, “Who are
you looking for?” And they answered, “Jesus of Nazareth.” He simply
said, “I
AM.” When they heard this they fell over backwards to the ground. No one
can stand before I AM and retain any of their strength. To the ground
we will all go, for that ground is holy. Every knee will bow, and every
tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
This
revealing of Christ is sufficient to bring saint and sinner alike into
absolute surrender and submission. Friends and foes alike find
themselves at His feet, quite unable to stand
before Him. He does not have to raise His voice or call down fire from
Heaven or do anything other than simply reveal Himself for Who He is.
Every doubting Thomas eventually cries out, “My Lord and My God!” when
they finally behold Him.
