Tuesday April 4
Who are you? This is the fundamental question asked by the Pharisees of Jesus during the feast of tents. Christ answers clearly using two definite affirmations. Speaking of himself he uses the formula I am evoking the I am who am that God had revealed to Moses at Sinai (Ex 3:14). Thus he proclaims his divinity. The second statement speaks of the cross. For the evangelist John, on Mount Calvary will be revealed the fullness of the glory of Jesus: it will be his divine manifestation. Only in the Paschal revelation of the Savior will we know who He is.
