When we gather together on a Sunday, we ask a profound question, one that can only be answered through faith and understanding. It’s the question Moses asked in Exodus 3:13, What is his name? For Moses, this question wasn’t just about a name. It was about identity. In Hebrew thought, a person’s name encapsulates their essence, their personhood. Moses wasn’t just curious; he wanted to know who God truly was. Why? Because he needed to know if God could do what He promised. Could He really deliver the Israelites from Egypt? Could He defeat the mighty Pharaoh and the gods of Egypt? And, more personally, could God transform Moses—from a man who had failed monumentally—into a mighty leader? Who was God, really? In Exodus 3:14-15, God reveals Himself to Moses as the I AM. This isn’t a title, but an affirmation of God's eternal existence. He doesn’t say, "I have been" or "I may be," but "I AM." God is perpetual being, with no beginning and no end. He exists by His own power and doesn’t rely on anyone or anything else to sustain Him.
