Sermon 166 : Third Sunday of Lent : I Am Who I Am
Please click the play button above to listen now.
"When Moses, in our first reading for this Sunday, asks God for his name, the Lord replies ""I am who I am."" God's mysterious self-designation is meant to throw Moses, and all of us, off balance. God is not someone or something that can be named, described, designated or deliminted in the usual way, for God is not a being in or alongside the world. Instead, he is that strange and alluring power that stands behind all of created existence. He is Being Itself, that which can be neither grasped nor hidden from.
