In today's 1st reading from Exodus 3, when Moses heard the voice of the LORD from the burning bush, he asked him, "When I go to the children of Israel and say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' if they ask me, 'What is his name?' what am I to tell them?" God replied, "I am who am." Then he added, "This is what you shall tell the children of Israel: I AM sent me to you." What awesome answers! Now, in John 8, when Jesus said to the Jews that Abraham rejoiced to see his day, the Jews said to him, "You are not yet fifty years old and you have seen Abraham?" Jesus said to them, "Amen, amen, I say to you, before Abraham came to be, I AM." Clearly, he revealed to them that he is God. In today's Gospel reading from Matthew 11, Jesus said to the crowd, "Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves." Now, the Almighty God is also meek and humble of heart—how amazingly awesome is our God!
