I AM. For you.

There are two sides to Jesus, the God of the universe. The side of His supreme authority and power. And the side of His self-sacrificial love and forgiveness. Many of us embrace the “love” side of Jesus and tend to forget about His ultimate holiness: that He cannot tolerate sin, selfishness, or pride. Yes, He is the Savior of the lonely, the seeking, the hurting, and the empty. But He also demands our humility, repentance, and faith in order to draw close to us. That’s when we get to see the tender, intimate side of his love. In the Bible, when Jesus is asked what his name is, he replies “I AM.” When it comes to those who seek Him — those who humbly bow to Him in repentance — He says “I AM on your side. I AM your friend. I AM for you.” Welcome.
