Before Abraham was, I AM

Our Hero's time in Jerusalem for the Feast of Tabernacles is about to come to a really abrupt ending. For days people have been speculating about who Jesus is. His detractors and even those who believe in Him have been accusing Jesus or trying to label Him as something that He is not, and He is disputing their assertions. The crux of every response Jesus makes to their accusations is that He is Divine. The crowd and religious leaders do not seem to hear Him when He says this. This week Jesus continues to press His Identity as the co-equal Son of The Living God. And this time, after a very contentious exchange of words, the crowd gets it, and their response is explosive and vicious.
