I AM (ego eimi)
The term I AMwas used by Jesus on many occasions.
‘Ego eimi’ literally means I (ego) I am (eimi). When Jesus claimed ‘Before
Abraham was I AM’ (Ego eimi), the Jews took up stones to kill Him for
blasphemy (John 8:59). They clearly understood that Jesus was claiming to
be God.
The name I AM THAT I AM was the name used by Jehovah when He spoke
with Moses out of the burning bush (Exodus 3:14).
Team Mission – Lesson 2
Greek
Title: The Definite Article
Text: John 1:1 ‘In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and
the Word was God.’
Theme: Knowing the different forms of the definite article
Introduction:
The Greek language has no indefinite article – a.
The indefinite article is taken when there is no definite article – the.
The doctrine that Jesus is God has been challenged on the basis that the
article has been left out in the Greek ‘the Word was God’.
The Greek states

and God was the Word
Theos – God has no article
Therefore – they say - there is no definite article before God so it is the
indefinite article a god.
From this they assume that the Word ‘Jesus’ is a god, not God.
However, notice the order of the words.
It does not say ‘the Word was a god’ but ‘God was the Word’.
The sentence has been turned around to put greater emphasis upon the word
God. This is called the predicate.
By dropping the definite article and putting God at the beginning the statement
is putting greater emphasis on the deity of the Word.
And God was the Word
