"Jesus knew the crucial answer to the crucial question of metaphysics because He was a Jew. The ultimate truth of metaphysics, the nature of ultimate reality, reality at its most real, was not the unknowable mystery to the Jews that it was to all the pagan tribes, nations, and religions around them.
This was not because the Jews were smarter than anyone else. It was because Ultimate Reality, for reasons known only to Himself, had chosen to reveal Himself to them as to no one else. God had come out of hiding.
In fact, He had told them His name. And that name was ‘I AM.’ ‘I’ is the name of a Person, not a Force. God is ‘He,’ not ‘It.’ ”
The inimitable Dr. Kreeft holds forth. Kind of long so I split it up today and tomorrow…
