John 8:28
When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will realize that I AM, and that I do nothing on my own, but I say only what the Father taught me.
God told Moses who he was as he said "I AM who Am" Moses was given the great grace of intimacy with God. However, even though Moses had intimacy it wasn't complete because of his limitations from his sinfulness. Jesus Christ is the only one who knows the Father's face and it is through Christ that we can come to a deep and intimate love with the Father. So today as the Corona Virus causes panic, let us turn to the true image of the Father and claim our identity as sons and daughters of the Abba who loves us enough to send his beloved son into the world to save us from being distant from him.
