Today a bush is still burning; hopefully it has never stopped burning and from this fiery bush a voice is still speaking.
I am not talking about an idea, a concept, a distant cosmic energy but, a Person, who is alive, present and who wants to exchange names with us!
The Fullness of the One Living God.
Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

“But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”
Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven.
“Very truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born, I am!”
I Am Who I Am. I Am What I Am. I Will Be What I Will Be. God. Sovereign. Complete. Eternal. Creator. Majesty. Everlasting. Sustainer. Source of Salvation.
