After Jesus called himself, “I AM”. The Pharisees picked up stones to stone him. They knew exactly who he was proclaiming to be.
Human responses to Jesus' claim fall into two categories; those who believe and follow and those who do not believe and do not follow.
Those who follow do not usually follow perfectly but their focus is on that goal. They may be like Peter who struggled at first, but grew to follow even to his death. Others may be like Paul who followed from the moment he met Jesus till he was murdered.
Those who do not follow may claim they believe, but their lives say otherwise. Others reject his claims outright.
Either way, we will live what we truly believe. Our actions speak the language of our hearts.
