It’s such an extraordinary claim that Jesus and YHWH are one! How much more so it must have been for 1st century Jews!

I love the proprietary attitude of Jesus when he was in the magnificent Temple. This huge, beautiful building, founded on 2500 years of awe-filled, reverent worship of the Almighty, and Jesus says, “Hey, this is my Father’s house!”

Or when challenged about his disciples’ picking grain on Saturday, the revered Sabbath, which if violated was to mean certain death, this one of the 10 Words given on Sinai in thunder and smoke, he makes the audacious statement that the Sabbath belongs to _him_!

Marvelous!

Thanks for this worshipful meditation, Jules!
