“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.
