The only thing God says in response to the question, who am I, is... Here's who you are. I'll be with you. He says, I'll be with you. And that's all the credentials that you need. And so I think what happens in this moment with these Pharisees is we tend to all want to separate ourselves in degrees of righteousness as we approach the great I am.

But in reality, if you could fast forward to the day of the second coming, when Christ returns in his glory, here's what's actually going to happen. Everybody is going to hit the deck, and we are going to collapse under the weight of the revelation of the glory of God, because we're all going to see that it flattens everybody's righteousness or whatever you think you've built.

I think the practical application of this for us is like, okay, you elevate yourself up and we all do it. Like we all puff ourself up and look at how good I'm doing. And I think that's like you missed the whole point. Like it's not about doing good and the sense of like I'm ascending, you know, I'm getting a higher level of spiritual maturity. maybe higher consciousness. It's not that.

And if we're in the presence of God, All the bragging rights just seem to go away, and all of the sectarian garbage and just the haughty spirit of the Pharisee and the scribe here, it just gets evaporated. I mean, it gets absolutely evaporated. in the presence of a holy God.
