"I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death."

Yes, Jesus came in to this world and though He was from the beginning, He lived among us and died on our behalf. But He is no more a dead person. Death or grave could not hold Him. On the third day, He rose up gloriously from the dead and He lives forever and forever. He is having authority over death and Hades. He is the First and the Last. No one was before Him and no one is going to come after Him. He is the very God of very God.

That is the same name Which Jehovah used in Exodus 3:14 and the same name Jesus said in John 8:24, "Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins."

And The New Living Translation translated like this:

That is why I said that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am who I say I am, you will die in your sins."

"You are My witnesses," says the LORD, "And My servant whom I have chosen, That you may know and believe Me, And understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, Nor shall there be after Me.

I, even I, am the LORD, And besides Me there is no savior.
I have declared and saved, I have proclaimed, And there was no foreign god among you; Therefore you are My witnesses," Says the LORD, "that I am God.
Indeed before the day was, I am He; And there is no one who can deliver out of My hand; I work, and who will reverse it?"

(Isaiah 43:25)

Jesus once again calling Himself "I am He" declared that He is the same Yahweh God who was and is and is to come."

12. "I Am" He who searches the Minds and Hearts

Only God has the capacity to search our minds and hearts and know exactly what is taking place in one’s mind and heart. We humans can not see inside the mind and heart of a person, only God can.

In 1 Kings 8:39 King Solomon prays to God, "then hear in heaven Your dwelling place, and forgive, and act, and give to everyone according to all his ways, whose heart You know (for You alone know the hearts of all the sons of men),

The psalmist says in Psalms 44:21, "Would not God search this out? For He knows the secrets of the heart."

When we read the New Testament we find the same qualities of God in Jesus. Jesus said in Revelation 2:23, "….and all the churches shall know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts. And I will give to each one of you according to your works."

The words of Jesus Himself make it clear that He searches our minds and hearts and there is nothing hidden from Him. Psalmist says in Psalms 38:9, "Lord, all my desire is before You; And my sighing is not hidden from You."

Again the Psalmist says in Psalms 69:5, "O God, You know my foolishness; And my sins are not hidden from You."

And the Bible says that He brings forth to light what is hidden. Job 28:11, "He dams up the streams from trickling; What is hidden he brings forth to light."

John 21:17, "He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?" Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, "Do you love Me?" And he said to Him, "Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You." Jesus said to him, "Feed My sheep.

The statement of Peter saying in the above verse, "Lord, You know all things" makes it clearer that Jesus is all – knowing and omniscient. Bible and Quran both say that only God is omniscient or all knowing. No one else can know everything and Jesus proved His quality of foreknowledge in these passages.

(Revelation 3:11)

Jesus foretold about His Second Coming while He was in this world. Yes, one day He will come back to take those home who believe in His name and those who gets forgiveness of sins.

Yes, Once Jesus came to die for our sins, but now He is going to come as King of kings and Lord of lords and He will reward those who walk in His holy ways. He will wipe away all their tears. But for those who reject Him a lake of fire awaits them where they will be in torment forever and forever.

If you want to be with Him eternally in heaven, please invite Jesus into your life.

Jesus came from the lineage of David as prophets foretold in Isaiah 9:6-7,

"For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."

"Of the increase of His government and peace There will be no end, Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, To order it and establish it with judgment and justice From that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this."

(Isaiah 9:6-7)

Also we read in Revelation 21:6, "It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts."

When Jesus was about to leave this world, He promised His disciples that He will not leave them as orphans but will send a comforter or helper for them as we read in John 14:16, "And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever;

"The Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.

"I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you."

(John 14:17-18)

After fifty days since Jesus left this world, when all the disciples and others were praying together the mighty out pouring of Holy Spirit came and filled that place (Acts 2:1-2) as promised by Prophet Joel:

"And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions. And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days."

(Joel 2:28-29),
