John 8:58

Before the beginning of creation on earth the great I AM was. Jesus Christ all man, all God… the past, present and future were and always will be in His hands. 

All knowing, all present, and all powerful… all glory belongs to God.

I AM (Gk. egō eimi) (6:35; 8:58; 10:7, 14; 15:1; 18:5) Strong’s #1473; 1510: This expression denotes “self-identity in self-sufficiency.” In one breath, Jesus asserted His eternal preexistence and His absolute deity. Abraham, as with all mortals, came into existence at one point in time. The Son of God, unlike all mortals, never has a beginning. He is eternal; and He is God. This is evident in Jesus’ use of the words “I AM” for Himself. This statement recalls the Septuagint (the Greek OT) translation of Ex. 3:6, 14, in which God unveiled His identity as the “I AM WHO I AM.” Thus Jesus was claiming to be the ever-existing, self-existent God.
