'The Lord Has Come.'
Luke 1:79.
a) To shine on those living in darkness.
b) To shine on those living in the shadow of death.
c) To guide our feet into the path of Peace.
(This QT gives me much assurance: The Lord Has Come)

'Before Abraham Was.'
John 8:58.
a) Very truly I tell you.
b) Before Abraham was born.
c) I Am.
(This Second one helps me to understand the Historical Jesus - Before Abraham Was)
----------------
Chris.
Before Abraham was born Jesus was already alive. He is the Eternal Son of God. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. He never changes. Jesus Christ was not some kind of historical figure showing us what God is really like, that is a completely wrong, and yet common misconception. Jesus Christ is eternally God - God the Son. He came to this Earth in the confines of a human body, but that was and is not His Eternal Appearance.
