In this sermon on John 8:48–59, Zack DiPrima examines Jesus’ climactic declaration, “Before Abraham was, I am,” revealing Christ as the eternal divine Son of God worthy of worship and faith. As the Jewish leaders accuse Jesus of madness and blasphemy, He responds with gracious invitations to eternal life and bold assertions of His divine identity. The sermon highlights the stark divide between rejection and reception of Christ, showing that neutrality toward Jesus is impossible—He is either rejected as a liar and lunatic or received as Lord and Savior. Drawing connections to Abraham’s faith and joy, the message calls believers to persevere in trusting Christ through suffering, confusion, and sacrifice while fixing their hope on the eternal city prepared by God.
