Do you know who you are?

Who are you? 


"Jesus said to the Pharisees: “I am going away and you will look for me, but you will die in your sin. Where I am going you cannot come.” 


"So the Jews said, “He is not going to kill himself, is he, because he said, ‘Where I am going you cannot come’?”


"He said to them, “You belong to what is below, I belong to what is above. You belong to this world, but I do not belong to this world. That is why I told you that you will die in your sins.


"For if you do not believe that I AM, you will die in your sins.” 

"So they said to him, “Who are you?” 



Jesus said to them, “What I told you from the beginning. I have much to say about you in condemnation. But the one who sent me is true, and what I heard from him I tell the world.” 


"They did not realize that he was speaking to them of the Father.


"So Jesus said to them, “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. 

"The one who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, because I always do what is pleasing to him.” 


"Because he spoke this way, many came to believe in him." (John 8: 21 - 30).

In the Gospel of today, the Jews asked Jesus a point blank question: "Who are you?" Jesus ties His Identity to the Father in the answer. "I always do what is pleasing to him." [Abba Father]


Who are you? If you do not know who you are, the Devil will give you a spurious answer like we hear in the world: "I am born to be rich and great.. I am beautiful. I am Irish. I am American, etc." The correct answer is:  "I AM WHO YOU [FATHER] SAY I AM."


The Father created us and gave us an IDENTITY when we are baptized. 


He calls you: My child, the brother of My Son Jesus. Baptized for eternal life. Light of the world. Fisher of men, etc. Know who you are and  Satan will never deceive you easily.
