They Fell to the Ground (Caddero a terra)


Italian: «Appena egli disse loro: 'Io sono', essi indietreggiarono e caddero a terra.»
(Giovanni 18:6, LND)
English: "Now when He said to them, “' am He,' they drew back and fell to the ground.'"
(John 16:6, NKJ)



Call me a Christian with her head in the clouds (or heavenly places as I like to call it); but some of my favorite types of Scriptures are those that speak of how Christ was both God and man.


Ah. Fully God and fully man. What an amazing truth. Just imagine, a man, someone who got hungry and thirsty and felt pain,... could also have the fullness of God dwelling inside His human body.


And I think that Giovanni (John) 18:6 is one of the Scriptures that refer to this truth; although in a not so obvious way. A hidden nugget, a buried treasure, just there waiting for anyone willing to dig a little bit to find it. So what am I referring to? This may take a bit but just stay with me and I'll help you dig.
