Just this week we have heard the news of another school shooting. Around the country and the world lives are torn apart by sickness, violence, and other tragedy. It is a normal response to ask the question, “Where is God in all of this?” As those around Jesus had tried to define him, he has continually responded by declaring “I AM” something more. This time it is not an opponent who defines him, but a friend. We see Jesus at his most tender, caring for his friends by declaring himself to be far more than they could have imagined.
