Who are you?

Who are you?

One of the first things we learn in life is a sense of identity. We learn that we have a name, a family, and a home. This sense of belonging helps us to realize we have a place in this world. Life only makes sense as we interpret it through the understanding of our identity.

It seems that the awareness of our identity is an ongoing need in our lives. As we grow older and move through the seasons of life, we continue to have questions about who we are and what our lives are all about. Because life only makes sense as we learn to interpret it through the understanding of our identity. 

In John chapter one, we read that John the Baptist was questioned by some of the Jewish leaders as to who he was. They wondered if he might be the promised Messiah. They asked him, Who are you?, and What do you say about yourself?  These are still significant questions for each of us today.

I love John's response to these questions. He answered with a scripture from the book of Isaiah. He said, I am a voice crying in the wilderness, prepare the way of the Lord. In other words, he found his identity in the scriptures. His life made sense as his identity related to the plan of God. He learned to say about himself what God had already said about him.

Who are you? What do you say about yourself? As you journey through life, how you answer these important questions makes a big difference between fulfilling destiny or finding disappointment. Life only makes sense as we interpret it through the understanding of our identity.
