Default The Present-Tense Christ

The Present-Tense Christ by Max Lucado, Grace for the Moment: Inspirational Thoughts for Each Day of the Year

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. - Hebrews 13:8

I am God’s Son. - John 10:36

I am the resurrection and the life. - John 11:25

I am the way, and the truth, and the life. - John 14:6

I am the true vine. - John 15:1

The present-tense Christ. He never says, "I was."

We do. We do because "we were." We were younger, faster, prettier. Prone to be people of the past tense, we reminisce.

Not God. Unwavering in strength, He need never say, "I was." From the center of the storm, the unwavering Jesus shouts, "I am."

Bold against the Galilean waves. ICU, battlefield, boardroom, prison cell, or maternity ward - whatever your storm, "I am."
