THE GOSPEL TRUTH (20) Christ and all that are his, depend upon God for honour. Men may be able to dispute aboutGod, yet may not know him. Such as know not God, and obey not the gospel of Christ, are put together, 2Thess. 1:8. All who rightly know anything of Christ, earnestlydesire to know more of him. Those who discern the dawn of the light of the Sun of Righteousness, wish to see his rising. Before Abraham was, I AM. This speaks Abraham a creature, and our Lord the Creator; well, therefore, might he make himself greater than Abraham. I AM, is thename of God, Exo. 3:14; it speaks his self-existence; he is the First and the Last, ever the same, Rev. 1:8. Thus he was not only before Abraham, but before all worlds, Prov.8:23; John 1:1. As Mediator, he wasthe appointed Messiah, long before Abraham; the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. The Lord Jesus was made of God Wisdom, Righteousness, Sanctification, and Redemption, to Adam, and Abel, and all that lived and died by faith in him, before Abraham. The Jews were about to stone Jesus for blasphemy, but he withdrew; by his miraculous power he passed through them unhurt. Let us stedfastly profess what we know and believe.
