Daily CLC Prayer verse

“Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets died! Who do you make yourself out to be?” Jesus answered, “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say, ‘He is our God.’ But you have not known him. I know him. If I were to say that I do not know him, I would be a liar like you, but I do know him and I keep his word. Your father Abraham rejoiced that he would see my day. He saw it and was glad.” So the Jews said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?” Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.” So they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple.”

All,
This stands out because Jesus says, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.”  Once again, either Jesus is crazy or He is the Son of God. Is this the non-judgmental Jesus that the world likes?  Are there times when we need to speak the truth in love?  Or is it better to just sit back and let religious leaders lie? What did Jesus do?  Please pray that we and our friends speak truth. Please pray for Connor as he is forming his group.
